  • A
    Plucked at $l/4$ and touched at $l/2$
  • B
    Plucked at $l/4$ and touched at $3l/4$
  • C
    Plucked at $l/2$ and touched at $l/4$
  • D
    Plucked at $l/2$ and touched at $3l/4$

The fundamental frequency of a transverse wave of a stretched string subjected to a tension $T_1$ is $300 \ Hz$. If the length of the string is doubled and subjected to a tension of $T_2$, the fundamental frequency of the transverse wave in the string becomes $100 \ Hz$. Then $T_2: T_1=$ (Linear density of the string is constant)

$A$ steel wire of length $1 \,m$, mass $0.1 \,kg$, and uniform area of cross-section $10^{-6} \,m^2$ is rigidly fixed at both ends without any tension. Its temperature is lowered by $20^{\circ} C$ and transverse waves are set up by plucking the wire at the middle. The frequency of the fundamental mode is ($Y = 200 \,GPa$, $\alpha = 1.21 \times 10^{-5} {}^{\circ} C^{-1}$). (in $\,Hz$)

$A$ wire stretched between two rigid supports vibrates in its fundamental mode with a frequency of $45 \;Hz$. The mass of the wire is $3.5 \times 10^{-2} \;kg$ and its linear mass density is $4.0 \times 10^{-2} \;kg \;m^{-1}$. What is
$(a)$ the speed of a transverse wave on the string,and
$(b)$ the tension in the string?

Two strings of the same material having lengths $L$ and $2L$,and radii $2r$ and $r$ respectively,are vibrating in the fundamental mode. The tension applied to both strings is the same. The ratio of their respective fundamental frequencies is:

$A$ string fixed at both ends vibrates in three loops. The wavelength is $10 \, cm$. The length of the string is .... $cm$.
