Three similar wires of frequency $n_1, n_2$ and $n_3$ are joined to make one wire. Its frequency will be

A

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

B

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

C

$n = n _{1} \times n _{2} \times n _{3}$

D

$n =\frac{ n _{1}+ n _{2}+ n _{3}}{3}$

Solution

(b) $n = \frac{1}{{2l}}\sqrt {\frac{T}{m}} $

==> ${n_1}{l_1} = {n_2}{l_2} = {n_3}{l_3} = k$
${l_1} + {l_2} + {l_3} = l$

==>$\frac{k}{{{n_1}}} + \frac{k}{{{n_2}}} + \frac{k}{{{n_3}}} = \frac{k}{n}$

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