Please wait for the animation to completely load.
Find a wave function, g(x, t), that will produce a standing wave with a node at x = 0 m, i.e., at the center (position is given in meters and time is given in seconds). You may want to pause the animation before you click-drag the mouse to read position coordinates. Restart.
