Vibrations of Mechanical Systems
An antinode is a point along a standing wave where the amplitude of the wave is at its maximum. In the context of vibrating strings and cables, antinodes represent the locations where the maximum displacement occurs, leading to the highest energy concentration. Understanding antinodes is essential for analyzing how waves behave in different media and plays a key role in determining the frequencies of vibrations and the modes of oscillation in strings and cables.
congrats on reading the definition of antinode. now let's actually learn it.
