NEET Physics Standing Waves MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-numerical-Hard-Class 11
A standing wave is formed on a string fixed at both ends with a length of 1.2 m. If the speed of the wave on the string is 60 m/s, what is the frequency of the second harmonic?
A
50 Hz
B
25 Hz
C
75 Hz
D
100 Hz
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
For a string fixed at both ends, the frequency of the nth harmonic is given by f_n = nv/(2L). For the second harmonic, n = 2, so f_2 = 260/(2*1.2) = 50 Hz.
