Standing waves (on strings)
- Standing waves occur when a wave reflects back and forth in
a confined space and interferes with itself
- Nodes are locations where a standing wave has zero amplitude
- Antinodes are locations where a standing wave has maximum amplitude
- Waves travelling on a string fixed at both ends are constrained
to have specific wavelengths and frequencies
