61. A sonometer wire when vibrated in full length has frequency $$n.$$ Now, it is divided by the help of bridges into a number of segments of lengths $${l_1},{l_2},{l_3},\,....$$   When vibrated these segments have frequencies $${n_1},{n_2},{n_3},\,....$$   Then, the correct relation is

A $$n = {n_1} + {n_2} + {n_3} + ....$$
B $${n^2} = n_1^2 + n_2^2 + n_3^2 + \,....$$
C $$\frac{1}{n} = \frac{1}{{{n_1}}} + \frac{1}{{{n_2}}} + \frac{1}{{{n_3}}} + \,.....$$
D $$\frac{1}{{\sqrt n }} = \frac{1}{{\sqrt {{n_1}} }} + \frac{1}{{\sqrt {{n_2}} }} + \frac{1}{{\sqrt {{n_3}} }} + \,.....$$
Answer :   $$\frac{1}{n} = \frac{1}{{{n_1}}} + \frac{1}{{{n_2}}} + \frac{1}{{{n_3}}} + \,.....$$
