उत्तर

Length of the string L = 0.9 m

For second overtone frequency (or third harmonic mode of vibration) n = 3.

Frequency of nth mode of vibration when the string is fixed at both ends ν = `"nv"/"2L"`​
`∴ 324 = ("3v"​)/(2 xx 0.9)`
 
⟹ v = `(324 xx 0.9 xx 2)/3` ​= 194.4 m/s
We get speed of transverse wave, v = 194.4 m/s.
