Dear Friends,
in my textbook it is written that when a stationary wave is formed in a string which is clamped at one end and free at the other end then a node is produced at the clamped end and an Anti-node is produced at the free end.the explanation given is that since at clamped particle can't move so a node is formed(i am also agree with the mechanism of node formation)) and at free end since the particle can move so an anti-node is formed.my doubt is that why anti-node is formed at free end,why can't there be a situation where particle can move but does not achieve the maximum amplitude.i mean why can't there be a situation where particle at free end behaves like in-between node and Anti-node positions.please explain me the whole mechanism.
Thanks
Arvind
