Question

anonymous · Answer

Its sure a travelling wave.

anonymous · Answer

electron is a travelling wave
electron in a orbit is a standing wave

anonymous · Answer

Electrons are travelling in the orbit and rotating around the neuclear

anonymous · Answer

electron in an orbit is a standing wave, that's why it doesn't lose energy in that particular orbit and fall into the nucleus. In case of a standing wave, no energy is transferred, which is not the case in a travelling wave

anonymous · Answer

contradictory answers.....if electron in orbit is standing wave....it means electrons doesnt revolve around the nucleus..???

A standing wave arises due to the superposition of waves of equal amplitude travelling in opposite directions.
