Three similar wires of frequency n₁, n₂ and n₃ are joined to make one wire. Its frequency will be :

Two vibrating strings of the same material but lengths L and 2L have radii 2r and r respectively. They are stretched under the same tension. Both the strings vibrate in their fundamental modes, the one of length L with frequency n₁ and the other with frequency n₂. The ratio n₁/n₂ is given by :
