A group of islands are called an archipelago. Originally the term referred to islands formed by volcanic action. Then the Bahamas and other groups used the term to refer to themselves. More specific terms describe other particular groups but archipelago describes an overall group.

Why If you very lightly touch a guitar string at its midpoint you can hear an octave one above the fundamental string?
There is a very simple reason for this, This is actually a deliberate technique known as harmonics/ overtones. When a guitar string is plucked, the string vibrates at several frequencies. The vibration along the entire length of the string is known as the fundamental, while vibrations occurring between points along the string (known as nodes) are referred to as overtones. The fundamental and overtones, when sounded together, are perceived by the listener as a single tone, though the relative prominence of the frequencies varies among instruments, and contribute to its timbre. Harmonics are produced on the guitar by lightly touching a string, rather than fretting it, at any of these nodal points. When sounded the string can no longer vibrate at its fundamental tone; instead it is forced to vibrate at the specific overtones that correspond to the nodal point, resulting in a chime-like tone.
