Answer:
In a standing wave, the positions with the highest amplitudes are ANTINODES
Explanation:
As we know that superposition of two waves which travels in opposite direction and is of same frequency will give the effect of maximum and minimum intensity at alternative points
this phenomenon of wave superposition is known as standing waves
so here in standing waves the points of constructive interference is known as Antinodes where the amplitude of the wave is maximum and hence the intensity will be maximum
And all the points where it will form destructive interference is known as Nodes and here at all nodes the amplitude is minimum and the hence the intensity is also minimum
[tex]A_{net} = A_1 + A_2[/tex] at antinodes
[tex]A_{net} = A_1 - A_2[/tex] at nodes
