When a stretched wire of fundamental frequency $f$ is divided into three segments,the fundamental frequencies of these three segments are $f_1, f_2$ and $f_3$ respectively. Then the relation among $f_1, f_2, f_3$ and $f$ is (Assume tension is constant).

  • A
    $\sqrt{f}=\sqrt{f_1}+\sqrt{f_2}+\sqrt{f_3}$
  • B
    $f=f_1+f_2+f_3$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{f_1}+\frac{1}{f_2}+\frac{1}{f_3}$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{f_1}+\frac{1}{f_2}+\frac{1}{f_3}$
