A stretched string 1.20 m1.20\,\text{m} long is fixed at both ends and vibrates in the fourth harmonic. At a point on the string the displacement amplitude is 80%80\% of the maximum possible amplitude. Which pair gives the two smallest distances of this point from the left end? a) 0.06 m0.06\,\text{m} and 0.24 m0.24\,\text{m} b) 0.09 m0.09\,\text{m} and 0.21 m0.21\,\text{m} c) 0.12 m0.12\,\text{m} and 0.18 m0.18\,\text{m} d) 0.07 m0.07\,\text{m} and 0.17 m0.17\,\text{m}
