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

  • A
    $n = {n_1} + {n_2} + {n_3} + \dots$
  • B
    $n = \sqrt {{n_1} \times {n_2} \times {n_3} \times \dots}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{n} = \frac{1}{{{n_1}}} + \frac{1}{{{n_2}}} + \frac{1}{{{n_3}}} + \dots$
  • D
    None of these

$A$ stretched string of $1 \ m$ length and mass $5 \times 10^{-4} \ kg$ is having a tension of $20 \ N$. If it is plucked at $25 \ cm$ from one end,then it will vibrate with a frequency of ... $Hz$.

If $n_{1}, n_{2}$ and $n_{3}$ are the fundamental frequencies of three segments into which a string is divided,then the original fundamental frequency $n$ of the string is given by

$A$ string of length $1 \,m$ and mass $2 \times 10^{-5} \,kg$ is under tension $T$. When the string vibrates, two successive harmonics are found to occur at frequencies $750 \,Hz$ and $1000 \,Hz$. The value of tension $T$ is . . . . . . Newton.

Two uniform strings $A$ and $B$ made of steel are made to vibrate under the same tension. If the first overtone of $A$ is equal to the second overtone of $B$ and if the radius of $A$ is twice that of $B$, the ratio of the lengths of the strings is :
