Waves of nodes and antinodes occur in?

A node is a point along a standing wave where the wave has minimal amplitude. The opposite of a node is an antinode, a point where the amplitude of the standing wave is a maximum. These occur midway between the nodes.


When sound waves interfere to create standing waves the points on the medium that move up and down with the largest amplitudes are called nodes?

false antinodes


Do P waves do the most destruction during and earthquake?

No, the S waves do, they are the most destructive, because they have a bigger ratio of Antinodes and nodes. AKA Destructive interference.


Does plane polarization occur in a transverse waves?

Transverse waves can be plane-polarized; longitudinal waves can not be.


What type of waves occur when the motion of the medium is parallel to the direction of the wave?

Longitudinal waves occur where the motion of the medium is parallel to the waves.


What are sound waves that interfere to create standing waves?

What do standing waves do?

Standing waves (sometimes called stationary waves) are the result of interference between two progressive wave systems. They can occur in anything from flowing water to optical systems to transmission lines. Points of negative interference are called nodes and points of the wave crests and troughs central between nodes are called antinodes. At certain frequencies (resonances), the nodes will become stationary, and the wave appears not to move. What they do is a broader question, but one (of very many examples) would be the sound created by a stinged musical instrument, which depends on standing waves to produce its sound.


Are p waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?

P-waves are longitudinal and S-waves are transverse waves.


Are light waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?

Longitudinal


Are sound waves transverse waves while light waves are longitudinal waves or are all sound waves and light waves longitudinal waves?

Light waves are transverse.Sound waves may be transverse or longitudinal. Sound in gases can only be longitudinal.


Are sound waves longitudinal in solids?

No Sound waves are longitudinal. Being longitudinal they cannot be POLARISED.


What type of wave occurs when the motion of the medium is parallel to the direction of the wave?

Longitudinal waves occur where the motion of the medium is parallel to the waves.
