The correct answer is:
120 cm, 80 cm, 60 cm
The frequency produced by a stretched wire is given by
… (i)
Where, p = number of loops formed in vibration,
= length of wire,
T = tension in wire,
and m = mass per unit length of wire
So, form Eq (i), we get
Here, the ratio of frequencies of three segments is
The length of wire, L = 260 cm, so
