$A$ uniform wire of length $L$,diameter $D$,and density $\rho$ is stretched under a tension $T$. The correct relation between its fundamental frequency $f$,the length $L$,and the diameter $D$ is:

  • A
    $f \propto \frac{1}{L D}$
  • B
    $f \propto \frac{1}{L \sqrt{D}}$
  • C
    $f \propto \frac{1}{D^{2}}$
  • D
    $f \propto \frac{1}{L D^{2}}$
