Question

When the string is stretched between two rigid supports. Under certain tension and vibrated

Visual representation for Physics

A

antinodes at both ends and at least one node in between

B

nodes at both ends and at least one antinode in between

C

nodes at both ends and no antinode in between

D

antinodes at both ends and no node in between

Answer

nodes at both ends and at least one antinode in between

Explanation

Solution

For a string fixed at both ends, the boundary conditions require nodes at the endpoints. When the string vibrates in any harmonic mode, there will always be at least one antinode between these fixed nodes.
