A sonometer wire of length \(114\, cm\) is fixed at both the ends. Where should the two bridges be placed so as to divide the wire into three segments whose fundamental frequencies are in the ratio \(1 : 3 : 4\) ?

  1. A At \(36\, cm\) and \(84\, cm\) from one end
  2. B At \(24\, cm\) and \(72\, cm\) from one end
  3. C At \(48\, cm\) and \(96\, cm\) from one end
  4. D At \(72\, cm\) and \(96\, cm\) from one end
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) At \(72\, cm\) and \(96\, cm\) from one end

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Total length of the wire, \(L=114 \mathrm{cm}\) \(\mathrm{n}_{1}: \mathrm{n}_{2}: \mathrm{n}_{3}=1: 3: 4\) Let \(L_{1}, L_{2}\) and \(L_{3}\) be the lengths of the three parts As \(n \propto \frac{1}{L}\)…
