==Key Stage 5==
===Meaning===
An [[antinode]] is a point in a stationary [[wave]] pattern where the [[amplitude]] is at a maximum.

===About Antinodes===

*[[Antinodes]] occur at positions where constructive interference happens.
*They are the opposite of nodes, where [[amplitude]] is zero.
*Found in standing [[wave]] patterns in physics, such as on strings or in air columns.
===Examples===

*The loudest points in a musical instrument's [[sound]] [[wave]] are [[antinodes]].
*[[Antinodes]] can be visualized in vibrating string experiments.
