alleryPoints on a standing wave where the amplitude is largest are called:
AAntinodes
BAntidotes
CAnecdotes
DAntelopes
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Antinodes
1. A standing wave alternates between still points and violently moving ones.
2. The still points are the nodes.
3. The points at which the amplitude is the largest are called antinodes.
4. So the answer is antinodes.
