Two uniform wires of same material are vibrating under the same tension. If the first overtone of the first wire is equal to the second overtone of the second wire and the radius of the first wire is twice the radius of the second wire, then the ratio of the length of the first wire to the second wire is:

  • A
    $1/4$
  • B
    $1/3$
  • C
    $2/3$
  • D
    $1/2$
