d is b/w 2 nodes 

X = \frac{\lambda }{2} , k= \frac{2\pi }{\lambda }

Hence X = \frac{\pi }{k}

 

 

Antinode in standing waves -

The position at which the particle is at greatest possible displacement of 2A from equilibrium position.

- wherein

At antinodes

\sin kx= \pm 1

kx= \frac{\pi }{2}, \frac{3\pi }{2}, \frac{5\pi }{2}.........

or\: \: \: x= \frac{n\lambda }{4}

n= 1,3,5.....
