The first five harmonics for a vibrating string are shown in Figure24.13.a.For each harmonic, identify the number of wavelengths represented.b.For each harmonic, identify the number of nodes and antinodes that are present (include the ends of the string in your count).c.Which of the five harmonics has the highest natural frequency?d.Make a drawing that shows what the sixth harmonic would look like.

The first five harmonics for a vibrating string are shown in Figure24.13.a.For each-example-1

1st: 0.5 wavelengths. 2 nodes and 1 anti node

2nd: 1 wavelength. 3 nodes and 2 anti nodes

3rd: 1.5 wavelength. 4 nodes and 3 anti nodes

4th: 2 wavelengths. 5 nodes and 4 anti nodes

5th: 2.5 wavelengths. 6 nodes and 5 anti nodes

The 5th harmonic has the highest natural frequency out of these 5

Put a photo of the 6th harmonic in this post aswell
