Both Holograms and Standing Waves are created through the inter-course of two coherent waves.

Hologram: A hologram is an interdimensional photograph that is made with the aid of a laser. To make a hologram, the object to be photographed is first bathed in the light of a laser beam. Then a second laser beam (or the one is split) is bounced off the reflected light of the first and the resulting interference pattern, the relationship, (the area where the two laser beams commingle) is captured on film. Note that a laser beam is used to create a hologram because the laser's light is coherent light (please also note that a hologram and a photo of a hologram, a holograph, are very similar and yet not exactly the same).

Standing Wave: Standing waves are produced whenever two waves of identical frequency interfere with one another while traveling in opposite directions along the same medium.

Imagine a Stadium Wave of fans moving in one direction and another Stadium Wave moving in the opposite direction.

 

A standing wave, also known as a stationary wave, is a wave (movement) that remains in a constant position in space (stillness). A standing wave always consists of an alternating pattern of nodes and antinodes. The nodes and antinodes in a standing wave pattern (like all the points along the medium) are formed as the result of the interference (relationship) of two waves, a double duality (a living hologram). The nodes are produced at locations where destructive interference occurs. Antinodes, on the other hand, are produced at locations where constructive interference occurs.

 

When two light waves pass through each other each wave acts like a bump to the other. And the result is like rapids of light. The standing wave patterns are stationary even though the light wave's energy continues to move.

 

When waves meet they perform addition and subtraction. When two waves of equal size meet at their high points (called crests), they add together to make a wave twice as high at that point. Conversely, where two waves of equal size meet at their low points (call troughs) they add together to become twice as low. And when one wave at its high point meets another wave at its low point they subtract and cancel out. And yet it isn't really cancelled out in the sense of being destroyed. It is more a case of there being no light at that spot. When you follow the wave path down to where it meets the other wave at a different point in the relationship, it is once again visible. It is a situation of infinite possibilities. Just like the patterns possible as the waves of two pebbles meet in a pond. At any point you may notice that the standing wave pattern has produced a place where the waves have added together to get higher or subtracted to become lower or even just gone flat. There are terms that are used to describe the possible encounters. When the waves add together and get higher it is called constructive interference and when the waves subtract or cancel altogether it is called destructive interference.

Standing Waves are discrete AND continuous - duality - a wave.

Standing Wave interactions are discrete, not continuous! Standing Wave movement is continuous as a wave! So standing wave interactions are definite and yet standing waves have infinite potential because their movement is continuous.

The music of wind instruments and singing are examples of standing waves - note that they are based on movement (living).
