A second harmonic has to be generated in a string of length $l$ stretched between two rigid supports. The point where the string has to be plucked and touched are

A

Plucked at $\frac{l}{4}$ and touch at $\frac{l}{2}$

B

Plucked at $\frac{l}{4}$ and touch at $\frac{{3l}}{4}$

C

Plucked at $\frac{l}{2}$ and touched at $\frac{l}{4}$

D

Plucked at $\frac{l}{2}$ and touched at $\frac{{3l}}{4}$

Solution

(a) Second harmonic means $2$ loops in a total length
Hence plucking distance from one end $ = \frac{l}{{2p}} = \frac{l}{{2 \times 2}} = \frac{l}{4}.$
