NEET 2014 Physics String Vibrations MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11

If n₁, n₂ and n₃ 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

1/n = 1/n₁ + 1/n₂ + 1/n₃

B

1/√n = 1/√n₁ + 1/√n₂ + 1/√n₃

C

√n = √n₁ + √n₂ + √n₃

D

n = n₁ + n₂ + n₃

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The fundamental frequency of the whole string is the reciprocal of the sum of the reciprocals of the frequencies of the segments.
