if they are both between two nodes, they are in phase. If they are on opposite sides of a node, they will be in antiphase (180 degrees out of phase)
So if they are on the same half of the wavelength, they would be in phase.
thanks! So is this now right?
i) Points on the same arc (between the same nodes) --> in phase ii) Points on opposite arcs (one positive displacement, other negative) --> anti-phase iii) It doesn't matter where in the arc the points are located, they are always either in phase or anti-phase (i.e. there's no in-between)
