JEE MAIN - Physics (2019 - 9th April Evening Slot - No. 2)

A string 2.0 m long and fixed at its ends is driven by a 240 Hz vibrator. The string vibrates in its third harmonic mode. The speed of the wave and its fundamental frequency is :-
180m/s, 80 Hz
180m/s, 120 Hz
320m/s, 120 Hz
320m/s, 80 Hz

Explanation

We have:

$$f = {{nv} \over {2l}}$$

$$240 = {{3 \times v} \over {2 \times 2}}$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$ v = 320 m/s

Fundamental frequency = $${v \over {2l}}$$ = 80 Hz.
