  2. Node (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Node_(physics)

    A standing wave. The red dots are the wave nodes. A node is a point along a standing wave where the wave has minimum amplitude.For instance, in a vibrating guitar string, the ends of the string are nodes.

  3. Standing wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standing_wave

    In this case, both ends will be pressure anti-nodes or equivalently both ends will be displacement nodes. This example is analogous to the case where both ends are open, except the standing wave pattern has a π ⁄ 2 phase shift along the x-direction to shift the location of the nodes and anti-nodes. For example, the longest wavelength that ...

  4. Room modes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Room_modes

    The nodes and antinodes of these standing waves result in the loudness of the particular resonant frequency being different at different locations of the room. These standing waves can be considered a temporary storage of acoustic energy as they take a finite time to build up and a finite time to dissipate once the sound energy source has been ...

  5. Vibrations of a circular membrane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vibrations_of_a_circular...

    From an educational point of view the modes of a two-dimensional object are a convenient way to visually demonstrate the meaning of modes, nodes, antinodes and even quantum numbers. These concepts are important to the understanding of the structure of the atom.

  6. Acoustic resonance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_resonance

    In cylinders with both ends open, air molecules near the end move freely in and out of the tube. This movement produces displacement antinodes in the standing wave. Nodes tend to form inside the cylinder, away from the ends. In the first harmonic, the open tube contains exactly half of a standing wave (antinode-node-antinode).

  7. Amphidromic point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphidromic_point

    The points at which the two waves amplify each other are known as antinodes and the points at which the two waves cancel each other out are known as nodes. Figure 2 shows a 1 ⁄ 4 λ resonator. The first node is located at 1 ⁄ 4 λ of the total wave, followed by the next node reoccurring 1 ⁄ 2 λ farther at 3 ⁄ 4 λ.

  8. ICD-10 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICD-10

    ICD-10 is the 10th revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD), a medical classification list by the World Health Organization (WHO). It contains codes for diseases, signs and symptoms, abnormal findings, complaints, social circumstances, and external causes of injury or diseases. [1]

  9. Myofascial trigger point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myofascial_trigger_point

    The misdiagnosis of pain is the most important issue taken up by Travell and Simons. Referred pain from trigger points mimics the symptoms of a very long list of common maladies, but physicians, in weighing all the possible causes for a given condition, rarely consider a myofascial source.
