The string cannot move at points C and D, and these points are called Nodes.
Node (N) is a point on a wave where the vibration is permanently at rest.

Antinode (A) is a point of maximum vibration along the length of string.
The distance between two consecutive nodes N N is \( \frac{\lambda}{2}\)while the distance between a node and an antinode NA is \( \frac{\lambda}{4}\)
For this mode of vibration, the vibrating
