A string fixed at both ends vibrates in 5 loops as shown in the figure. The total number of nodes and antinodes respectively are

  1. 6&5
  2. 6&10
  3. 2&5
  4. 10&6

Solution

In a vibrating string, the locations of particles which does not vibrate or oscillate are the location of nodes and the position or points in the string where the amplitude of the vibration of particles is maximum are known as antinodes.

Therefore, in the given string there are 6 nodes and 5 antinodes.
