Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a resonating pipe which is open at one end and closed at the other, there is a displacement node at the closed end and a displacement antinode at the open end. This is because the closed end does not allow any displacement of air particles, while the open end allows maximum displacement of air particles, resulting in a maximum pressure difference and thus an antinode.
