Question
Define the terms 'node' and 'antinode'?
✓
Answer
Node: It is a point on stationary wave at which amplitude of vibration of the particle is zero.
Antinode: It is a point on stationary wave at which amplitude of vibration of the particle is maximum.
Antinode: It is a point on stationary wave at which amplitude of vibration of the particle is maximum.
