Position of nodes in standing wave ================================== In a standing wave, the locations of zero amplitude are called nodes. These locations, however, are not arbitrary and are integer multiples of half the wavelength of the standing wave. **Links:** #. `Wikipedia <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standing_wave#Standing_wave_on_an_infinite_length_string>`__. .. py:currentmodule:: symplyphysics.laws.waves.position_of_nodes_in_standing_wave .. py:data:: node_position :attr:`~symplyphysics.symbols.classical_mechanics.position` of :math:`m`-th node.
