When a string of length $l$ is divided into three segments of length $l_1, l_2$ and $l_3$,the fundamental frequencies of the three segments are $n_1, n_2$ and $n_3$ respectively. The original fundamental frequency $n$ of the string is:

  • A
    $n = n_1 + n_2 + n_3$
  • B
    $\sqrt{n} = \sqrt{n_1} + \sqrt{n_2} + \sqrt{n_3}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{n} = \frac{1}{n_1} + \frac{1}{n_2} + \frac{1}{n_3}$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{\sqrt{n}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{n_1}} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{n_2}} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{n_3}}$
