A boy tunes a radio channel to a radio station 93.5 MHz . Name and define the scientific wave phenomenon involved in tuning the radio channel.
Explanation
Stationary waves are formed when two waves of the same frequency and amplitude travel in opposite directions. In the case of tuning a radio channel, the radio waves from the station and the radio waves from the receiver form stationary waves, allowing the receiver to pick up the desired frequency.
