If ${n_1}, {n_2}, {n_3}, \dots$ are the frequencies of segments of a stretched string,the frequency $n$ of the string is given by

  • A
    $n = {n_1} + {n_2} + {n_3} + \dots$
  • B
    $n = \sqrt {{n_1} \times {n_2} \times {n_3} \times \dots}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{n} = \frac{1}{{{n_1}}} + \frac{1}{{{n_2}}} + \frac{1}{{{n_3}}} + \dots$
  • D
    None of these
