I made my own definition and explanation about a standing wave.
A standing wave is a “stationary” wave that appears as if it is not traveling through the medium, but is just flipping up and down-changing directions. This happens when each end is closed off and it is a stationary wave made up of nodes at least on each side of the vibration and anti nodes. The wave at the right frequency is flipping up and down. It happens when you consistently send multiple pulses down a medium and reflecting waves interfere with those new incoming waves.
