$A$ uniform string of length $L$ and mass $M$ is fixed at both ends while it is subject to a tension $T$. It can vibrate at frequencies $(v)$ given by the formula (where $n=1, 2, 3, \ldots$):

  • A
    $v=\frac{n}{2} \sqrt{\frac{T}{M L}}$
  • B
    $v=\frac{n}{2 L} \sqrt{\frac{T}{M}}$
  • C
    $v=\frac{1}{2 n} \sqrt{\frac{T}{M L}}$
  • D
    $v=\frac{n}{2} \sqrt{\frac{T L}{M}}$

Two uniform wires of same material are vibrating under the same tension. If the $1^{\text{st}}$ overtone of the $1^{\text{st}}$ wire is equal to the $2^{\text{nd}}$ overtone of the $2^{\text{nd}}$ wire and the radius of the $1^{\text{st}}$ wire is twice the radius of the $2^{\text{nd}}$ wire,find the ratio of the length of the $1^{\text{st}}$ wire to that of the $2^{\text{nd}}$ wire.

When a vibrating tuning fork is placed on a sound box of a sonometer, $8$ beats per second are heard when the length of the sonometer wire is kept at $101 \,cm$ or $100 \,cm$. Then the frequency of the tuning fork is (Consider that the tension in the wire is kept constant). (in $\,Hz$)

The length of the wire shown in the figure between the pulleys is $1.5 \, m$ and its mass is $12.0 \, g$. The frequency of vibration with which the wire vibrates in three loops,forming an antinode at the midpoint of the wire,is: (Given $g = 9.8 \, m/s^2$)
