MCQ
A string fixed at one end is vibrating in its second overtone. The length of the string is $10\ cm$ and maximum amplitude of vibration of particles of the string is $2\ mm$ . Then the amplitude of the particle at $9\ cm$ from the open end is
  • A
    $\sqrt 3\ mm$
  • ✓
    $\sqrt 2\ mm$
  • C
    $\frac{{\sqrt 3 }}{2}\ mm$
  • D
    None of these
✓

Answer

Correct option: B.
$\sqrt 2\ mm$
b
Second overtone $\Rightarrow 5$ th harmonic

So, $\lambda=\frac{4 L}{5}=8 \mathrm{\,cm}$

$A_{s}=(2\, m m) \sin (k x)=(2\, m m) \sin \left(\frac{2 \pi}{\lambda} x\right)$

${=(2 \mathrm{\,mm}) \sin \left(\frac{2 \pi}{8 \mathrm{cm}} \times 1 \mathrm{cm}\right)} $

${=(2 \mathrm{\,mm}) \sin \left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right)=\sqrt{2} \mathrm{\,mm}}$
