Standing waves can be produced when two identical waves, having a phase difference of π, are travelling in the same direction. True or False? Correct Answer False

The equation of standing waves is given by; y = Asin(kx)cos(wt). This is formed by adding two waves of the form asin(kx-wt) & bsin(kx+wt) which shows that they both must be travelling in opposite directions.
