Consider standing waves in an air column with one end closed. What is a pressure node?

Consider standing waves in an air column with one end closed. What is a pressure node? Correct Answer Least pressure change

The point where there is an antinode corresponds to maximum amplitude of displacement. This also implies that here, pressure changes are minimum and it is therefore called a pressure node.
