If a wave is travelling in a positive \(x\text-\)direction with \(A= 0.2~\text{m}\)\(v=360~\text{m/s}\), and \(\lambda= 60~\text{m}\), then the correct expression for the wave will be:
1.  \({y}=0.2 \sin \left[2 \pi\left(6{t}+\frac{x}{60}\right)\right]\)
2. \({y}=0.2 \sin \left[ \pi\left(6{t}+\frac{x}{60}\right)\right]\)
3. \({y}=0.2 \sin \left[2 \pi\left(6{t}-\frac{x}{60}\right)\right]\)
4. \(y=0.2 \sin \left[ \pi\left(6{t}-\frac{x}{60}\right)\right]\)

A string is cut into three parts, having fundamental frequencies \(n_1,n_2,\) and \(n_3\) respectively. The original fundamental frequency \(n\) is related by the expression:
1. \(\frac{1}{n}= \frac{1}{n_1}+\frac{1}{n_2}+\frac{1}{n_3}\)
2. \(n= n_1\times n_2\times n_3\)
3. \(n= n_1+ n_2+ n_3\)
4. \(n= \frac{n_1+ n_2+ n_3}{3}\)
