Stepping Into the Realm of Oscillations and Waves: An Introduction to Wave Motion
FAQs on Difference Between Node and Antinode
1. What is node and antinode?
In standing waves, the nodes are the locations where the vibration's amplitude is zero, while the antinodes are the locations where the vibration's amplitude is greatest. Antinodes oppose one another because they are found in the space between nodes. Nodes are the points of minima whereas antinodes are the points of maxima in a standing wave.
2. What are some examples of Standing waves in real life?
The strings on a guitar, or any other string instrument, are a well-known example of standing waves in the real world. In these instruments, a plucked string produces a certain frequency based on the string's length, tautness, and density. Nodes lie at the ends of the strings whereas antinodes lie between the nodes.
3. What are the applications of standing waves in the field of medicine?
The combination of two waves with the same frequency and amplitude but opposite motion results in standing waves. Some of the applications of standing waves in the field of medicine include utilization of stationary waves in the absorption of X-Rays, CT Scanners, Diagnostic X-Rays, studying Electrocardiograph, Fibre optics and endoscopy.
