Two strings $A$ and $B$ of lengths $L_A = 80 \text{ cm}$ and $L_B = x \text{ cm}$ respectively are used separately in a sonometer. The ratio of their densities $(d_A / d_B)$ is $0.81$. The diameter of $B$ is one-half that of $A$. If the strings have the same tension and fundamental frequency, the value of $x$ is:

  • A
    $33$
  • B
    $102$
  • C
    $144$
  • D
    $130$

$A$ string is clamped at both ends and it is vibrating in its $4^{th}$ harmonic. The equation of the stationary wave is $Y = 0.3 \sin(0.157 x) \cos(200\pi t)$. The length of the string is ..... $m$ (all quantities are in $SI$ units).

$A$ 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 $n=1, 2, 3, \ldots$):

The fundamental frequency of a sonometer wire of length $l$ is $n_0$. $A$ bridge is now introduced at a distance of $\Delta l$ (where $\Delta l \ll l$) from the center of the wire. The lengths of wire on the two sides of the bridge are now vibrated in their fundamental modes. Then,the beat frequency is nearly
