Problem

A string 0.80 m0.80\,\text{m} long, under tension 120 N120\,\text{N}, produces its second harmonic at 240 Hz240\,\text{Hz}. The string is replaced by another string of the same length and under the same tension but having half the linear mass density. What will be the frequency of the second harmonic of the new string? (a) 240 Hz240\,\text{Hz} (b) 340 Hz340\,\text{Hz} (c) 170 Hz170\,\text{Hz} (d) 480 Hz480\,\text{Hz}
