A string 2 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

a
320 m/sec, 120Hz
b
180 m/sec, 80Hz
c
180 m/sec, 120Hz
d
320 m/sec, 80Hz

detailed solution

Correct option is D

For third harmonic,  f= 3v2L ⇒3V2l=240 ⇒3×V2×2=240 ⇒V=320 m/sec  Fundamental frequency =V2l=3202×2 = 80 Hz
