Standing waves caused by waves moving in opposite directions are a special case of standing waves caused by waves overlapping in arbitrary directions. See [sites.ualberta.ca/~pogosyan/teaching/PHYS_130/FALL_2010/…. Directly between the two sources you can see the standing waves due to motion in opposite directions, and everywhere else you can see the same standing waves extending out to where the waves overlap but do not move in opposite directions. | |
