A uniform rope of length L and mass m1 hangs vertically from a rigid support. A block of mass m2 is attached to the free end of the ropes. A transverse pulse of wavelength λ1 is produced at the lower end of the rope. The wavelength of the pulse when it reaches the top of the rope is λ2. The ratio λ2/λ1 is-

If n1, n2 and n3 are, are the fundamental frequencies of three segments into which a string is divided, then the original fundamental frequency n of the string is given by
(1) 1/n=1/n1+1/n2+1/n3
(2) 1/√n=1/√n1+1/√n2+1/√n3
(3) √n=√n1+√n2+√n3
(4) n=n1+n2+n3
When a string is divided into three segments of lengths the fundamental frequencies of these three segments are respectively. The original fundamental frequency (v) of the string is
