The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the frequency in terms of T (tension), μ (linear mass density), and l (length of the string) for the fourth overtone mode and the third harmonic, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: #### Part (a): Frequency of the Fourth Overtone Mode 1. **Understand the Concept of Overtones**: - The nth overtone corresponds to the (n+1)th harmonic. Therefore, the 4th overtone is the 5th harmonic. 2. **Identify the Value of n**: - For the 4th overtone, we have: \[ n = 5 \] 3. **Use the Frequency Formula**: - The formula for the frequency \( f \) of a vibrating string is given by: \[ f = \frac{n}{2l} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}} \] 4. **Substitute the Value of n**: - Substitute \( n = 5 \) into the frequency formula: \[ f = \frac{5}{2l} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}} \] 5. **Final Expression for the Fourth Overtone**: - Thus, the frequency of the fourth overtone mode is: \[ f = \frac{5}{2l} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}} \] #### Part (b): Frequency of the Third Harmonic 1. **Identify the Value of n**: - For the third harmonic, we have: \[ n = 3 \] 2. **Use the Frequency Formula**: - Again, we use the same frequency formula: \[ f = \frac{n}{2l} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}} \] 3. **Substitute the Value of n**: - Substitute \( n = 3 \) into the frequency formula: \[ f = \frac{3}{2l} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}} \] 4. **Final Expression for the Third Harmonic**: - Thus, the frequency of the third harmonic is: \[ f = \frac{3}{2l} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}} \] ### Summary of Results: - **Frequency of the Fourth Overtone Mode**: \[ f = \frac{5}{2l} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}} \] - **Frequency of the Third Harmonic**: \[ f = \frac{3}{2l} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}} \]
