(i) The stretched string should be plucked at one-fourth part of the string to obtain frequency 2f:
(ii) The string should be plucked at one-sixth part of the string to obtain frequency 3f.
These vibrations are shown in the figure and are named as a fundamental, first overtone, and the second overtone respectively.
