A sonometer wire is vibrating in third overtone. There are (a) 5 nodes and 4 antinodes (b) 4 nodes and 5 antinodes (c) 4 nodes and 4 antinodes (d) 5 nodes and 5 antinodes

Answer: (a). Third overtone = fourth harmonic, so the wire forms 4 loops. 4 loops give 5 nodes and 4 antinodes. So the answer is (a).
