    The length of a sonometer wire AB is 110 cm. Where should the two bridges be placed from A to divide the wire in 3 segments whose fundamental frequencies are in the ratio of =1:2:3

    A)  30 cm and 60 cm             

    B)  40 cm and 80 cm

    C)  60 cm and 90 cm             

    D)  30 cm and 90 cm

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Given, \[L=110\text{ }cm\] \[{{v}_{1}}:{{v}_{2}}:{{v}_{3}}=1:2:3\] Frequency \[v=\frac{1}{2l}\sqrt{\frac{T}{m}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[v\propto \frac{1}{l}\]                 \[\frac{{{v}_{1}}}{{{v}_{2}}}=\frac{{{l}_{2}}}{{{l}_{1}}}\]                 \[\frac{1}{2}=\frac{{{l}_{2}}}{{{l}_{1}}}\] \[\therefore \]  \[{{l}_{2}}=\frac{{{l}_{1}}}{2}\]                   ?.(i)                 \[\frac{{{v}_{1}}}{{{v}_{3}}}=\frac{{{l}_{3}}}{{{l}_{1}}}\]                 \[\frac{1}{3}=\frac{{{l}_{3}}}{{{l}_{1}}}\]                 \[{{l}_{3}}=\frac{{{l}_{1}}}{3}\]                   ?.(ii) \[\therefore \]  \[L={{l}_{1}}+{{l}_{2}}+{{l}_{3}}\]                 \[110={{l}_{1}}+\frac{{{l}_{1}}}{2}+\frac{{{l}_{1}}}{3}\]                 \[=\frac{6{{l}_{1}}+3{{l}_{1}}+2{{l}_{1}}}{6}=\frac{11{{l}_{1}}}{6}\] \[\therefore \]  \[{{l}_{1}}=60cm\]                 \[{{l}_{2}}=\frac{60}{2}=30cm\]  [From Eq. (i)], Therefore, bridges should be placed at \[60cm\]and \[60+30=90\text{ }cm\]from A.
