The superposition of two waves traveling in the same medium produces a standing wave pattern if the two waves have

• the same frequency, the same amplitude, and travel in the same direction

• the same frequency, the same amplitude, and travel in opposite directions

• the same frequency, different amplitudes, and travel in the same direction

• the same frequency, different amplitudes, and travel in opposite directions
