The combination of a steel wire (length 80 cm , area of cross section 1 mm21 \mathrm{~mm}^2 ) and an aluminium wire (length 60 cm , area of cross section 3 mm23 \mathrm{~mm}^2 ) joined end to end is stretched by a tension of 160 N . If the densities of steel and aluminium are 7.8 g/cc7.8 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{cc} and 2.6 g/cc2.6 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{cc} respectively then, the minimum frequency of a tuning fork which can produce standing waves in the composite wire, with the joint as a node, is
