*They are the opposite of [[node]]s, where [[amplitude]] is zero.
*Found in standing [[wave]] patterns in physics, such as on strings or in air columns.
*The distance between consecutive [[antinodes]] is half the [[wavelength]] of the wave.
*[[Antinode]]s are points of maximum [[energy]] transfer in the medium.
*In musical instruments, [[antinode]]s correspond to the points where the air column or string vibrates most strongly.
*The study of [[antinode]]s and [[node]]s is essential in understanding resonance and [[Harmonic|harmonic]] [[frequency|frequencies]].
===Examples===
*The loudest points in a musical instrument's [[sound]] [[wave]] are [[antinode]]s.
*[[Antinode]]s can be visualized in vibrating string experiments.
