Question
A standing wave of a string fixed at both ends which has 4 antinodes is known as theQuestion 15Select one:A.the fourth harmonic.B.the second harmonic.C.the fifth harmonic.D.the first harmonic.E.the third harmonic.
Solution
The correct answer is A. the fourth harmonic.
Here's why:
A standing wave with 4 antinodes is known as the fourth harmonic. This is because the number of antinodes in a standing wave corresponds to the harmonic number. An antinode is a point of maximum amplitude on a standing wave. In other words, it's where the wave is "moving" the most.
So, if a standing wave has 4 antinodes
