I got lost here -> the more nodes that it has the higher the energy of the vibration. What is nodes?

Nodes - stationary nodes, think standing wave, points who remain at zero while the plucked string is vibrating.

ah thanks!

Apologies. Despite working with nodes that are nodes in a network literally every day in my work, while I was writing I was so entranced in the chemistry world that I forgot that there is another meaning to the word. Thank you for asking.
