To explain:
The number of nodes related to number of antinodes in a standing wave fixed at both ends.

Answer to Problem 34SSC
Number of nodes will be one greater (always) than a number of antinodes.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
A wave is defined as a disturbance, moves along a medium (one end to another end). This physical phenomenon is characterized by its wavelength, frequency, plus amplitude. On a continuous wave, the shortest distance (or gap) between equivalent points is termed as wavelength.
Frequency is described as a number of complete oscillations per unit in a particular time.
It is known that standing waves has stationary nodes plus antinodes.
Interference produces standing waves in a rope. As the frequency of vibration is increased the numbers of nodes plus antinodes increase. So, number of nodes will be one greater (always) than a number of antinodes.
Conclusion:
Number of nodes: One greater than a number of antinodes.

Rick grows up to be an Earth-bound robotics technician while Mick becomes an intergalactic astronaut. Mick leaves the Earth on his first space mission in the year 2200 and travels, according to his clock, for 10 years at a speed of 0.75c. Unfortunately, at this point in his journey, the structure of his ship undergoes mechanical breakdown and the ship explodes.
