A node is a point along a standing wave where the wave has minimal amplitude. The opposite of a node is an antinode, a point where the amplitude of the standing wave is a maximum. These occur midway between the nodes.

Examples of a type of boundary could be the attachment point of a string, the closed end of an organ_pipe or a woodwind pipe, the periphery of a drumhead, or a transmission line with the end short circuit. In this type, the amplitude of the wave is forced to zero at the boundary, so there is a node at the boundary, and the other nodes occur at multiples of half a wavelength from it: 0, λ/2, λ, 3λ/2, 2λ, ...

In the second harmonic or in the 1st overtone of a vibrating string there are 3 antinodes and 2 nodes.

What is difference between overtone and harmonics?

The first harmonic is the fundamental. The second harmonic the first overtone. The third harmonic the second overtone. The fourth harmonic the third overtone. Even-numbered harmonics are odd-numbered overtones. Odd-numbered harmonics are even-numbered overtones.

What color of the spectrum has the second shortest wavelength?

According to (longest wavelength) ROYGBIV (shortest wavelength), it would be "indigo."


What happens when a vibrating object causes a second object to vibrate also?

When a vibrating object causes a second object to vibrate, it transfers its energy to the second object. This energy causes the particles in the second object to move, leading to vibrations and the creation of sound waves. The frequency and amplitude of the vibrations depend on the characteristics of the vibrating objects.

Red light has the second longest wavelength in the visible light spectrum, after infrared light.


What is formed at a fundamental frequency or an overtone?

An overtone is the music counterpart of harmonics in audio electronics. A harmonic is the multiple of the fundamental frequency. For example, if the fundamental frequency is 1,000 Hertz (cycles per second), then the second harmonic is twice of the fundamental or 2,000 Hertz. So it goes on such that: 3rd harmonic or overtone is 3,000 Hertz 4th is 4,000 Hertz and so on. Remember that one Hertz is equal to one wave cycle per second. So the higher the harmonic or overtone, the higher is the frequency compared to the fundamental.
