The frequency of the second harmonic emitted by a wire is 200 Hz. The frequency of the third overtone produced by the wire will be

A

300Hz

B

400 Hz

C

500 Hz

D

600 Hz

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Frequency of the second harmonic ` = 2n = 200 `Hz
` : n = 100` Hz
` :. ` frequency of the third overtone ` = 4n = 400 ` Hz.
