Answer to Problem 1PLA

The name given to the point on a vibrating string at which the displacement is always zero is node and the point at which the displacement is always maximum is antinode.

Explanation of Solution

The characteristic features of the vibrating string are the existence of nodes and antinodes which describes the displacement of the string from its equilibrium position.

Node is the point at which the displacement of the string from its equilibrium position is always zero.

Antinode is the point at which the displacement of the string from its equilibrium position is always maximum and it occurs between nodes.

Conclusion:

Therefore, the name given to the point on a vibrating string at which the displacement is always zero is node and the point at which the displacement is always maximum is antinode.
