A thin metal wire of length 1.20 m is clamped firmly at both ends. Stationary waves are set up on the wire when it is driven by an external vibrator.

Stationary wave on a string of length L

Which statement is not correct?

The wavelength of the first harmonic is 2.40 m2.40\text{ m}2.40 m.

The midpoint of the wire behaves as an antinode for all odd-numbered harmonics.

A stationary wave with a wavelength of 0.32 m0.32\text{ m}0.32 m can be set up on the wire.

There are exactly five nodes along the wire for the fourth harmonic.
