Q.

A string fixed at both the ends is vibrating in the lowest mode of vibration for which a point at quarter of its length from one end is a point of maximum amplitude. The frequency of vibration in this mode is 100 Hz. What will be the frequency emitted when it vibrates in the next mode such that the point is again a point of maximum amplitude ?

 Question Image
Point P is an antinode i,e the string is vibrating in its second harmonic. Let f0 be the fundamental frequency. Then
    2f0=100Hz   f0=50Hz
Now P is an antinode (at length  l/4 from one end) so centre should be a node. So, next higher frequency will be sixth harmonic or 6f0  which is equal to 300 Hz as shown below.
