1. points of maximum amplitude in a standing wave pattern where oscillations are greatest
Usage: physics; plural of antinode

Examples

• The guitar string vibrated with antinodes at specific points along its length.
• In the physics lab, we measured the distance between antinodes in the standing wave.
• Sound waves in the tube created antinodes where the amplitude was highest.
• The antinodes appeared as bright spots in the wave interference pattern.
• Students plotted the locations of nodes and antinodes on their wave diagrams.
• The frequency determined how many antinodes formed along the vibrating wire.
