When a sonometer wire vibrates in third overtone there are
- A 4 nodes and 3 antinodes.
- B 6 nodes and 5 antinodes.
- C 5 nodes and 4 antinodes.
- D 4 nodes and 5 antinodes.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) 5 nodes and 4 antinodes.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation

The sonometer wire vibrates in second overtone as shown in the figure above.
