The standing waves are generated by plucking a guitar string. The length of the string `(l)`must be equal to a whole number timesA. `lambda`B. `(lambda)/(2)`C. `(lambda)/(3)`D. `(lambda)/(4)`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
Length of the string `=n (lambda//2)`, where `n = 1, 2, 3, ….`.The only waves that are possible are those in which a whole number of half-wavelengths fits into the string length. These allowed waves constitute a harmonic series. Any total motion of the string is some combination of these allowed harmonics.
