MCQ
If you set up the seventh harmonic on a string fixed at both ends, how many nodes and antinodes are set up in it
  • $8, 7$
  • B
    $7, 7$
  • C
    $8, 9$
  • D
    $9, 8$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$8, 7$
a
(a) String will vibrate in $7$ loops so it will have $8$ nodes $7$ antinodes. 

Number of harmonics = Number of loops = Number of antinodes

$⇒$ Number of antinodes $= 7$

Hence number of nodes = Number of antinodes $+ 1 = 7 + 1 = 8$
