A string is stretched between fixed points separated by . It is observed to have resonant frequencies of and . There are no other resonant frequencies between these two. Then, the lowest resonant frequency for this string is:
- A
- B
- C
- D
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
For a string fixed at both ends, the resonant frequencies are , where is the fundamental (lowest) frequency and is an integer.Successive resonant frequencies differ by the fundamental frequency:
Given successive frequencies are and .
Given successive frequencies are and .
