MCQ
A stretched string fixed at both ends has $m$ nodes, then the length of the string will be
- ✓$(m-1) \frac{\lambda}{2}$
- B$\frac{(m+1) \lambda}{2}$
- C$\frac{m \lambda}{2}$
- D$(m-2) \frac{\lambda}{2}$
✓
Answer
Correct option: A.
$(m-1) \frac{\lambda}{2}$
(a)
In case of a stretched string fixed at both ends has $m$ nodes, then the length of the string will be $L=(m-1) \frac{\lambda}{2}$, where $\lambda$ is the wavelength.
