Three similar wires of frequencies $n_1, n_2$ and $n_3$ are joined to form a single wire. What will be its resulting frequency $n$?

  • 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
    $n = \frac{n_1 + n_2 + n_3}{3}$

$A$ steel wire of length $1 \,m$, mass $0.1 \,kg$, and uniform area of cross-section $10^{-6} \,m^2$ is rigidly fixed at both ends without any tension. Its temperature is lowered by $20^{\circ} C$ and transverse waves are set up by plucking the wire at the middle. The frequency of the fundamental mode is ($Y = 200 \,GPa$, $\alpha = 1.21 \times 10^{-5} {}^{\circ} C^{-1}$). (in $\,Hz$)

The speed of a transverse wave on a string is $160 \,m/s$. If the three resonant frequencies of this string are $160 \,Hz$, $240 \,Hz$, and $400 \,Hz$ respectively, the length of the string is: (in $\,cm$)
