Question 4

A guitar string of length $L\,$ is securely clamped at both ends. A musician excites the third harmonic (second overtone) of the string, establishing a stationary wave.

Which of the following correctly describes the number of displacement antinodes along the string and the wavelength of this stationary wave?

2 displacement antinodes, wavelength $23L\frac{2}{3}L$

3 displacement antinodes, wavelength $23L\frac{2}{3}L$

3 displacement antinodes, wavelength $32L\frac{3}{2}L$

2 displacement antinodes, wavelength $L$
