In case of stationary wave pattern, which of the following statement is CORRECT ?

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

The distance between consecutive antinodes in a stationary wave is , not .

In a pipe open at both ends, all harmonics (both even and odd) are present, with frequencies where

In a pipe closed at one end, only odd harmonics are present, with frequencies where

In a stretched string fixed at both ends, the frequencies of vibration are . The fundamental frequency is (first harmonic). The first overtone corresponds to the next higher frequency, which is . This is exactly the second harmonic. Thus, the frequency of the first overtone is the same as the second harmonic.
