Assertion: A wire is stretched and then ...

Assertion: A wire is stretched and then fixed at two ends. It oscillates in its second overtone mode. There are total four nodes and three antinodes.
Reason: In second overtone mode, length of wire should be `l=(3lambda)/2`, where `lambda` is wavelength.

A

If both Assertion and Reason are true and the Reason is correct explanation of the Assertion.

B

If both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.

C

If Assertion is true, but the Reason is false.

D

If Assertion is false but the Reason is true.
