In order to double the frequency of the fundamental note emitted by a stretched string, the length is reduced to $\frac{3}{4}$ of the original length and the tension is changed. The factor by which the tension is to be changed is

  • A
    $\frac{3}{8}$
  • B
    $\frac{2}{3}$
  • C
    $\frac{8}{9}$
  • D
    $\frac{9}{4}$

The length of a sonometer wire $AB$ is $110\; cm$. Where should the two bridges be placed from $A$ to divide the wire into $3$ segments whose fundamental frequencies are in the ratio of $1:2:3$?

An iron load of $2 \ kg$ is suspended in air from the free end of a sonometer wire of length $1 \ m$. $A$ tuning fork of frequency $256 \ Hz$ is in resonance with $\frac{1}{\sqrt{7}}$ times the length of the sonometer wire. If the load is immersed in water, the length of the wire in metres that will be in resonance with the same tuning fork is (Specific gravity of iron $= 8$).

$A$ steel rod $100 \ cm$ long is clamped at its mid-point. The fundamental frequency of longitudinal vibrations of the rod is given to be $2.53 \ kHz$. What is the speed of sound in steel in $km/s$ (in $.06$)?

$A$ wire of density $9 \times 10^{-3} \,kg\, cm^{-3}$ is stretched between two clamps $1 \,m$ apart. The resulting strain in the wire is $4.9 \times 10^{-4}$. The lowest frequency of the transverse vibrations in the wire is......$Hz$ (Young's modulus of wire $Y = 9 \times 10^{10} \,N m^{-2}$),(to the nearest integer).

Length of a sonometer wire is either $95 \ cm$ or $100 \ cm$. In both the cases,a tuning fork produces $5 \ beats/sec$ with the wire. The frequency of the tuning fork is- (in $Hz$)
