In case of a stationary wave pattern which of the following statements is CORRECT? (a) The distance between the consecutive nodes is equal to the wavelength. (b) In a pipe at both ends only even harmonics are present in an air column. (c) In a pipe closed at one end, all harmonics are present in an air column. (d) In case of a stretched string when vibrated, frequency of first overtone is same as second harmonic.

Answer: (d). (a) Consecutive nodes are (λ)/(2) apart: false. (b) A pipe open at both ends gives all harmonics: false. (c) A closed pipe gives only odd harmonics: false. (d) For a string the first overtone is the second harmonic: true. So the answer is (d).

Stationary Waves & Vibrating Strings

In case of a stationary wave pattern which of the following statements is CORRECT?

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

(a) Consecutive nodes are $\frac{\lambda}{2}$ apart: false.
(b) A pipe open at both ends gives all harmonics: false.
(c) A closed pipe gives only odd harmonics: false.
(d) For a string the first overtone is the second harmonic: true.
So the answer is (d).
