MHT CET 2024 Physics question

When the string is stretched between two rigid supports, under certain tension and vibrated

(1)antinodes at both ends and at least one node in between
(2)Nodes at both ends and at least one antinode in betweenCorrect
(3)Nodes at both ends and no antinode in between
(4)antinodes at both ends and no node in between

Answer: (2)

Solution

The ends of a string fixed between rigid supports cannot vibrate, so they are always nodes. For a standing wave to form, the string must have at least one loop, i.e. at least one antinode between the two end nodes (the fundamental mode has exactly one
