n=\frac{v}{2l}= \frac{\sqrt\frac{T}{M}}{2l}

M= mass / length 

M= \rho s 

n=\frac{1}{2l}= {\sqrt\frac{T}{\rho s}}

S = \pi r^{2} area

n \propto \frac{1}{rl}\Rightarrow \frac{n_{1}}{n_{2}}= \frac{r\times 2l}{2r\times l}= 1

 

Standing wave in a string fixed at both ends -

 

- wherein

\nu _{n}= \frac{n}{2L}.\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu }}

n= 1,2,3...........

\nu _{n} frequency of nth harmonic .

T= tension in string

\mu = mass / length
