Antinodes

Definition

Antinodes are points in a wave where there is maximum displacement or amplitude. They occur when two waves interfere constructively, resulting in reinforcement of their amplitudes.

Wavelength refers to the distance between two consecutive antinodes (or nodes) in a wave.

Standing Wave: A standing wave occurs when two waves with equal frequency and amplitude traveling in opposite directions interfere constructively and form stationary patterns.

Harmonics: Harmonics are multiples of the fundamental frequency produced by vibrating objects, such as strings or air columns.
