Answer:
the wave represents the second harmonic.
Explanation:
Given;
length of the cord, L = 64 cm
The first harmonic of a cord fixed at both ends is given as;
[tex]f_o = \frac{V}{2L}[/tex]
The wavelength of a standing wave with two antinodes is calculated as follows;
L = N---> A -----> N + N ----> A -----> N
Where;
N is node
A is antinode
L = N---> A -----> N + N ----> A -----> N = λ/2 + λ/2
L = λ
The harmonic is calculated as;
[tex]f = \frac{V}{\lambda} \\\\f = \frac{V}{L} = 2(\frac{V}{2L} ) = 2(f_o) = 2^{nd} \ harmonic[/tex]
Therefore, the wave represents the second harmonic.
L = λ
