Solution

The correct option is C

10 Hz, 30 Hz, 50 Hz


Since one end is tied to a light string on the other side. At this point an antinode will be formed and a node will be formed at the fixed end.

given m = 80g = 0.08 kg

L = 2m

μ = mL = 0.082 = 0.04 kgm

tension,T = 256

v = Tμ = 2560.04 = 160.2 = 80 ms1

fundamental frequency is given by v4L

f0 = 804 × 2 = 10 Hz

The first overtone is the 3rd harmonic and is given by 30 Hz.

The second overtone is the 5th harmonic and is given by 50 Hz
