$A$ string vibrates with a frequency of $200 \ Hz$. When its length is doubled and tension is altered,it begins to vibrate with a frequency of $300 \ Hz$. The ratio of the new tension to the original tension is

  • A
    $9: 1$
  • B
    $1: 9$
  • C
    $3: 1$
  • D
    $1: 3$

The tension in a wire is decreased by $19 \%$. The percentage decrease in frequency will be ......... $\%$

$A$ thin wire of length $99 \ cm$ is fixed at both ends as shown in the figure. The wire is kept under a tension and is divided into three segments of lengths $l_1, l_2$ and $l_3$ as shown in the figure. When the wire is made to vibrate, the segments vibrate respectively with their fundamental frequencies in the ratio $1: 2: 3$. Then, the lengths $l_1, l_2$ and $l_3$ of the segments respectively are (in $cm$):

$A$ string vibrates in its fundamental mode when a tension $T_1$ is applied to it. If the length of the string is decreased by $25 \%$ and the tension applied is changed to $T_2$, the fundamental frequency of the string increases by $100 \%$, then $\frac{T_2}{T_1} =$ (Linear density of the string is constant)

Two uniform wires of the same material are vibrating under the same tension. If the first overtone of the first wire is equal to the $2^{\text{nd}}$ overtone of the $2^{\text{nd}}$ wire and the radius of the first wire is twice the radius of the $2^{\text{nd}}$ wire,then the ratio of the length of the first wire to the $2^{\text{nd}}$ wire is:

Two vibrating strings of the same material but lengths $L$ and $2L$ have radii $2r$ and $r$ respectively. They are stretched under the same tension. Both the strings vibrate in their fundamental modes,the one of length $L$ with frequency $n_1$ and the other with frequency $n_2$. The ratio $n_1/n_2$ is given by
