In stationary waves, nodes are the points where there is:

1. maximum displacement and minimum pressure change
2. minimum displacement and maximum pressure change
3. minimum displacement and minimum pressure change
4. maximum displacement and maximum pressure change

Correct answer: minimum displacement and maximum pressure change

Solution

In a stationary wave, nodes are points of zero displacement, so the particles there do not oscillate. For sound waves, pressure changes are largest at displacement nodes, making the correct choice minimum displacement and maximum pressure change.
