Stationary Waves & Vibrating Strings

A string is cut into three parts, having fundamental frequencies n1, n2, n3 respectively. Then original fundamental frequency n related by the expression as

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. For the same string material and tension, n∝1ln \propto \dfrac{1}{l}, so l=knl = \dfrac{k}{n}.
  2. l=l1+l2+l3⇒1n=1n1+1n2+1n3l = l_1 + l_2 + l_3 \Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{n} = \dfrac{1}{n_1} + \dfrac{1}{n_2} + \dfrac{1}{n_3}.
  3. So the answer is (a).
