14.Waves and Sound
medium
A string $2.0\, m$ long and fixed at its end is driven by a $240\, Hz$ vibrator. The string vibrates in its third harmonic mode. The speed of the wave and its fundamental frequency is
A
$320\, m/s, 120\, Hz$
B
$180\, m/s, 80\, Hz$
C
$180\, m/s, 120\, Hz$
D
$320\, m/s, 80\, Hz$

Solution
We have:
$f=\frac{n v}{2 \ell}$
$240=\frac{3 \times v}{2 \times 2}$
$\Rightarrow \quad v=320 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$
Fundamental frequency $=\frac{v}{2 \ell}=80 \mathrm{Hz}$
