In a stationary wave:

1. Strain is maximum at antinodes
2. Strain is minimum at nodes
3. Strain is maximum at nodes
4. Amplitude is zero at all points

Correct answer: Strain is maximum at nodes

Solution

In a stationary wave, nodes are points of zero displacement but the displacement changes most sharply there, so the spatial gradient is largest. Since strain is related to this gradient, it is maximum at nodes.
