why amplitude become zero in a standing wave?

Question

anonymous · Answer

i know that standing wave nt travel and has leastone point bt how it possible?

aravindg · Answer

u seee

in standing waves there are both positions of 0 amplitude and max amplitude
0 amplitude is called  node
max amplitude is called antinode

hope that was helpful

anonymous · Answer

a standing wave is produced when two waves of the same amplitude superimpose each other. like when a wave is reflected off from a boundary. The points where there amplitude cancels out each other causes the formation of nodes.They appear to vibrate in segments, nodes and anti nodes and the fact that these vibrations are made up of traveling waves is not apparent so they seen stationary.

only at node displacement is zero
