Key Stage 5

Meaning

An antinode is a point in a stationary wave pattern where the amplitude is at a maximum.

About Antinodes

  • Antinodes occur at positions where constructive interference happens.
  • They are the opposite of nodes, where amplitude is zero.
  • Found in standing wave patterns in physics, such as on strings or in air columns.
