Jan 5, 2017 at 3:56 comment added Steve @user123733 Yes the position of an antinode changes with time, it doesn't stay fixed at the maximum, it only takes on that maximum value at specific times. A node stays fixed in place, but an antinode moves the largest possible amount over time. There are likely some YouTube videos that can demonstrate an antinode visually over time.
Jan 5, 2017 at 3:46 comment added user123733 @Steve at antinode y position should be maximum but here it can vary with time .
Jan 5, 2017 at 3:18 comment added Steve @user123733 You completely changed the question, so you changed the solution from node to antinode. Given your equation -2Asin(wt) at x=0, it should be obvious that it's an antinode since the y position changes sinusoidally with an amplitude of the sum of the two other waves. This means x=0 is a point where maximum displacement occurs, which is the condition for an antinode.
Jan 5, 2017 at 2:45 comment added user123733 @BillN but in my book it is written as antinode .
Jan 4, 2017 at 20:46 comment added Bill N @user123733 To avoid possible errors due to lack of spatial information ($x$-behavior), you must add the functions before applying any specific values of $x$ or $t$.
Jan 4, 2017 at 18:24 comment added user123733 Sorry , I have edited my question
Jan 4, 2017 at 18:21 comment added user123733 In my book it is given as antinode. How ?

Jan 4, 2017 at 17:28 comment added user123733 But why we can add like , when x=0 $y_1=Asin(- \omega t)$ and $y_2=-Asin\omega t$ and add hoth of them .
