When a string is divided into three segments of lengths \(l_1,~l_2\text{ and }l_3,\) the fundamental frequencies of these three segments are \(\nu_1,~\nu_2\text{ and }\nu_3\) respectively. The original fundamental frequency \((\nu)\) of the string is:
1. \(\sqrt{\nu}=\sqrt{\nu_1}+\sqrt{\nu_2}+\sqrt{\nu_3}\)
2. \(\nu=\nu_1+\nu_2+\nu_3\)
3. \(\dfrac{1}{\nu}=\dfrac{1}{\nu_1}+\dfrac{1}{\nu_2}+\dfrac{1}{\nu_3}\)
4. \(\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{\nu}}=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{\nu_1}}+\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{\nu_2}}+\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{\nu_3}}\)
