Difference between nodal lines and antinodal lines?

Nodal lines and antinodal lines are related to standing waves, which are formed when two waves of the
same frequency and amplitude traveling in opposite directions interfere with each other. The key
difference between nodal lines and antinodal lines is their amplitude or displacement of the wave.

- Nodal lines: These are the locations along a standing wave where the amplitude, or displacement, of
the wave is zero. At these points, the two waves are perfectly out of phase with each other, and their
amplitudes cancel each other out. Nodal lines are also called nodes or null points.

- Antinodal lines: These are the locations along a standing wave where the amplitude of the wave is
maximum. At these points, the two waves are perfectly in phase with each other, and their amplitudes
add up to produce a larger amplitude. Antinodal lines are also called antinodes.

In a standing wave, there are alternate nodes and antinodes, with the nodes being separated by
antinodes. The number and position of nodes and antinodes depend on the wavelength of the standing
wave and the properties of the medium through which the wave is traveling. Nodal lines and antinodal
lines are important in many applications, such as in musical instruments, acoustics, and electronics.
