(b) $n = \frac{1}{{2l}}\sqrt {\frac{T}{m}} $

==> ${n_1}{l_1} = {n_2}{l_2} = {n_3}{l_3} = k$
${l_1} + {l_2} + {l_3} = l$

==>$\frac{k}{{{n_1}}} + \frac{k}{{{n_2}}} + \frac{k}{{{n_3}}} = \frac{k}{n}$

==> $\frac{1}{n} = \frac{1}{{{n_1}}} + \frac{1}{{{n_2}}} + \frac{1}{{{n_3}}} + ........$

    Two trains $A$ and $B$ are moving with speeds $20 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ and $30 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ respectively in the same direction on the same straight track, with $B$ ahead of $A$. The engines are at the front ends. The engine of train  $A$ blows a long whistle.

    Assume that the sound of the whistle is composed of components varying in frequency from $f_1=800 \mathrm{~Hz}$ to $f_2=1120 \mathrm{~Hz}$, as shown in the figure. The spread in the frequency (highest frequency - lowest frequency) is thus $320 \mathrm{~Hz}$. The speed of sound in still air is $340 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$.

    $1.$  The speed of sound of the whistle is

    $(A)$ $340 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ for passengers in $A$ and $310 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ for passengers in $B$

    $(B)$ $360 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ for passengers in $A$ and $310 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ for passengers in $B$

    $(C)$ $310 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ for passengers in $A$ and $360 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ for passengers in $B$

    $(D)$ $340 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ for passengers in both the trains

    $2.$  The distribution of the sound intensity of the whistle as observed by the passengers in train $\mathrm{A}$ is best represented by

    $Image$

    $3.$  The spread of frequency as observed by the passengers in train $B$ is

    $(A)$ $310 \mathrm{~Hz}$ $(B)$ $330 \mathrm{~Hz}$ $(C)$ $350 \mathrm{~Hz}$ $(D)$ $290 \mathrm{~Hz}$

    Give the answer question $1,2$ and $3.$

    A composition string is made up by joining two strings of different masses per unit length $\rightarrow \mu$ and $4\mu$ . The composite string is under the same tension. A transverse wave pulse $: Y = (6 mm) \,\,sin\,\,(5t + 40x),$ where $‘t’$ is in seconds and $‘x’$ in meters, is sent along the lighter string towards the joint. The joint is at $x = 0$. The equation of the wave pulse reflected from the joint is
