Best Answer

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.

Yes. The nodes and antinodes alternate along the longitudinal wave.

Do P waves do the most destruction during and earthquake?

No, the S waves do, they are the most destructive, because they have a bigger ratio of Antinodes and nodes. AKA Destructive interference.

How does nodes and antinodes form in a standing wave?

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.


What do standing waves do?

Standing waves (sometimes called stationary waves) are the result of interference between two progressive wave systems. They can occur in anything from flowing water to optical systems to transmission lines. Points of negative interference are called nodes and points of the wave crests and troughs central between nodes are called antinodes. At certain frequencies (resonances), the nodes will become stationary, and the wave appears not to move. What they do is a broader question, but one (of very many examples) would be the sound created by a stinged musical instrument, which depends on standing waves to produce its sound.

Why do standing waves have nodes?

Nodes are locations where waves are canceled by interference.

The Correct Answer Is AntiNodes


How many nodes and antinodes are in a single wavelength of the second harmonic of a vibrating string?

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.
