    $\frac{n}{\sqrt{2}}$
  • B
    $\frac{n}{2\sqrt{2}}$
  • C

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.

The fundamental frequency of a sonometer wire is $50 \text{ Hz}$ for a given length and tension. If the length is increased by $25\%$ while keeping the tension constant, what is the percentage change in the frequency of the second harmonic?

$A$ wire of length $0.3\,m$,stretched between rigid supports,has its $n^{\text{th}}$ and $(n+1)^{\text{th}}$ harmonics at $400\,Hz$ and $450\,Hz$,respectively. If the tension in the string is $2700\,N$,its linear mass density is ......... $kg/m$.

When tension $T$ is applied to a sonometer wire of length $\ell$,it vibrates with the fundamental frequency $n$. Keeping the experimental setup same,when the tension is increased by $8 \ N$,the fundamental frequency becomes three times the earlier fundamental frequency $(n)$. The initial tension applied to the wire in newton was:

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:
