MCQ

In a sonometer experiment, the string of length $L$ under tension vibrates in second overtone between two bridges. The amplitude of vibration is maximum at

A
$\frac{L}{3}, \frac{2 L}{3}, \frac{5 L}{6}$
B
$\frac{L}{8}, \frac{L}{4}, \frac{L}{2}$
C
$\frac{L}{2}, \frac{L}{4}, \frac{L}{6}$
✓
$\frac{L}{6}, \frac{L}{2}, \frac{5 L}{6}$

✓

Answer

Correct option: D.

$\frac{L}{6}, \frac{L}{2}, \frac{5 L}{6}$

(d) : String vibrating in second overtone

So, the amplitude of vibration is maximum at $\frac{L}{6}, \frac{L}{2}, \frac{5 L}{6}$
