What is a point at which a standing wave has zero amplitude?
Node Point
What is the distance between a waves crest and trough?
The amplitude is the distance between the the zero position and the crest or the zero position and the trough so the vertical distance means double the amplitude.
If Waves combine to produce a smaller or zero amplitude in a process called what?
Destructive interference.
What is a node in physics?
In physics, a node typically refers to a point or region where certain physical properties, such as amplitude or displacement, are zero or have minimal values. Nodes commonly appear in various wave phenomena, including sound waves, electromagnetic waves, and mechanical waves. For example, in a standing wave, nodes are points along the medium where there is no displacement. In electronic circuits, nodes are points where two or more circuit elements connect.
How does destructive interference affect the amplitude of a wave?
Destructive interference affect the amplitude of a wave because two identical waves with similar amplitude and wavelength, arrive in anti phase, leading to a zero displacement.
What is a point at which a standing wave has zero amplitude?
Node Point
What does standing wave mean?
It means that each point of the wave has a constant amplitude - but the amplitude is not the same for all points. Certain points where the wave passes - the nodes - have ZERO amplitude.This usually happens when the wave interferes with itself, for example, when the wave is reflected and goes back and forth.

When describing waves what does amplitude refer to?
The amplitude is the maximum amount it sways from the neutral position. If it oscillates about zero, then it would vary from a value of +A to -A, where A is the maximum Amplitude. The units of A will be determined by the type of wave.
What interference occours when waves add up to make a wave with a smaller or zero amplitude?
That is called destructive interference.
Is Magnitudes of two waves are same but phase difference is zero?
AC if the signal is of the same amplitude but out of phase yes the net product Vs time will be zero.
Describe standing waves and how they are formed?
The modes of vibration associated with resonance in extended objects like strings and air columns have characteristic patterns called standing waves. Scroll down to related links and look at "Strings, standing waves and harmonics".
What amplitude is higher zero or one?
Zero has no amplitude, so ' 1 ' is definitely bigger.
What is nodal surface?
A surface where the amplitude of a standing wave changes sign (negative becomes positive and vice versa) and the probability to find an elctron is zero..:)
