14.Waves and Sound
easy
A second harmonic has to be generated in a string of length $l$ stretched between two rigid supports. The points where the string has to be plucked and touched are respectively
A
$\frac{l}{4}, \frac{l}{2}$
B
$\frac{l}{4}, \frac{3l}{4}$
C
$\frac{l}{2}, \frac{l}{2}$
D
$\frac{l}{2}, \frac{3l}{4}$
Solution

(a)
In the $2^{\text {nd }}$ harmonic the shape of wave looks like.
The point of touching forms a node point of plucking forms an antinode. Hence, for $2^{\text {nd }}$ harmonic, we need to need wire touched at $\frac{l}{2}$ and pluck it at $\frac{l}{4}$.
