If ${n_1},{n_2},{n_3}.........$ are the frequencies of segments of a stretched string, the frequency $n$ of the string is given by

A

$n = {n_1} + {n_2} + {n_3} + .......$

B

$n = \sqrt {{n_1} \times {n_2} \times {n_3} \times .......} $

C

$\frac{1}{n} = \frac{1}{{{n_1}}} + \frac{1}{{{n_2}}} + \frac{1}{{{n_3}}} + .....$

D

None of these

Solution

(c) For a vibrating string

${n_1}{l_1} = {n_2}{l_2} = {n_3}{l_3}….. = $constant $= k$ (say) $= nl$

Also ${l_1} + {l_2} + {l_3} + {l_4} + …… = 1$

$\frac{k}{{{n_1}}} + \frac{k}{{{n_2}}} + \frac{k}{{{n_3}}} + \frac{k}{{{n_4}}} + …. = \frac{k}{n}$==> $\frac{1}{n} = \frac{1}{{{n_1}}} + \frac{1}{{{n_2}}} + \frac{1}{{{n_3}}} + …….$
