उत्तर

inverse of its length

The relation between wave speed and the length of the string is given by

\[v = \frac{1}{2l}\sqrt{\frac{F}{\mathrm{\mu}}}\] 
where
           l is the length of the string
           is the tension
           μ linear mass density
From the above relation, we can say that the fundamental frequency of a string is proportional to the inverse of the length of the string.

\[v \propto \frac{1}{l}\]
