Question

A string is vibrating in its fifth overtone between two rigid supports 2.4 m apart. The distance between successive node and antinode is
A. `0.1 m `
B. `0.2m`
C. `0.6 m`
D. `0.8m`

Answer 1

Correct Answer - B
Hint and solution :
Fith overtone `=6^(th)` harmonics
`6xx (lamda)/(2) =2.4`
`lamda =0.8`
The distance between successive node and antinode
`(lamda)/(4) =(0.8)/(4) =0.2`
