  • C
    When an air column is vibrated in a pipe closed at one end, all harmonics are present.
  • D

$A$ string of length $1\,m$ and linear mass density $0.01\,kg/m$ is stretched to a tension of $100\,N$. When both ends of the string are fixed,the three lowest frequencies for standing waves are $f_1, f_2$,and $f_3$. When only one end of the string is fixed,the three lowest frequencies for standing waves are $n_1, n_2$,and $n_3$. Then:

$A$ string fixed at both ends vibrates in a resonant mode with a separation of $2.0 \, cm$ between consecutive nodes. For the next higher resonant frequency,this separation is reduced to $1.6 \, cm$. The length of the string is .... $cm$.
