(i) Show that for a string of length LL fixed at both ends and vibrating in its nn-th harmonic, the distance of the kk-th node from one fixed end is xk=kλ2x_k = \dfrac{k\lambda}{2} where k=0,1,2,…,nk = 0,1,2,\dots ,n. (ii) For a string of length 1.50 m vibrating in its fifth harmonic, list the positions of all antinodes measured from the left end. (iii) Hence find the distance between the second and the fourth antinodes in this case.
