A string 0.8 m long and fixed at both ends has a mass per unit length of \(0.005\,\text{kg m}^{-1}\). When the tension in the string is \(T_{1}\), the fundamental frequency is \(120\,\text{Hz}\). The tension is then increased, and the frequency of the third harmonic becomes \(540\,\text{Hz}\). (a) Determine the new tension \(T_{2}\). (b) Find the wavelength of the third harmonic under the new tension.

Answer Options

A. T₂ ≈ 500 N; λ₃ = 0.60 m
B. T₂ ≈ 350 N; λ₃ = 0.53 m
Correct Answer C. T₂ ≈ 415 N; λ₃ = 0.53 m
D. T₂ ≈ 415 N; λ₃ = 0.45 m
Correct Answer
C
Correct Option:
T₂ ≈ 415 N; λ₃ = 0.53 m
