Options:
  • A 1n=1n1+1n2+1n3
  • B 1n=1n1+1n2+1n3
  • C n=n1+n2+n3
  • D n=n1+n2+n3

The correct answer is: 1n=1n1+1n2+1n3


For first segment we have,

n1=12l1 Tμ

For second segment we have,
n2=12l2 Tμ

For third segment we have,
n3=12l3Tμ

For the whole string we have,
n=12l Tμ

Total length of the string is,
l=l1+l2+l3

Thus, the fundamental frequency for the whole string is,
1n=1n1+1n2+1n3
