MCQ
Unlike a laboratory sonometer, a stringed instrument is seldom plucked in the middle. Supposing a sitar string is plucked at about $\frac{1}{4}$th of its length from the end. The most prominent harmonic would be
  • A
    Eighth
  • B
    Fourth
  • C
    Third
  • ✓
    Second
✓

Answer

Correct option: D.
Second
d
(d) When plucked at one fourth it gives two loops, and hence $2$nd harmonic is produced.
