A wire is vibrating in the second overtone. In the wire there are

A

two nodes and two antinodes

B

one node and two antinodes

C

four nodes and three antinodes

D

three nodes and three antinodes

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Second overtone is the third harmonic i.e. 3 loops and hence 4 nodes and 3 antinodes.
