Stationary Waves & Vibrating Strings

When a sonometer wire vibrates in the third overtone, the number of antinodes and nodes formed on the wire are respectively

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

Third overtone $=$ fourth harmonic, so the wire forms 4 loops.
4 loops give 4 antinodes and $4 + 1 = 5$ nodes.
So the answer is (a) $4, 5$ .
