In physics, a standing wave – also known as a stationary wave – is a wave in a medium in which each point on the axis of the wave has an associated constant amplitude. The locations at which the amplitude is minimum are called nodes, and the locations where the amplitude is maximum are called antinodes.

Standing wave: the superposition of two travelling waves of same frequency travelling in opposite direction of a fixed point form standing wave. it is also known as stationary waves.
IN standing wave NODES and ANTINODES are formed.
NODE:the point at which displacement of particle is zero
ANTINODe:the point at which dispacement is maximum is called antinode
