Two vibrating strings of the same material but lengths $L$ and $2L$ have radii $2r$ and $r$ respectively. They are stretched under the same tension. Both the strings vibrate in their fundamental modes,the one of length $L$ with frequency $n_1$ and the other with frequency $n_2$. The ratio $n_1/n_2$ is given by

  • A
    $2$
  • B
    $4$

$A$ wire having a linear mass density $9.0 \times 10^{-4} \; \text{kg/m}$ is stretched between two rigid supports with a tension of $900 \; \text{N}$. The wire resonates at a frequency of $500 \; \text{Hz}$. The next higher frequency at which the same wire resonates is $550 \; \text{Hz}$. The length of the wire is $...... \; \text{m}$.

The fundamental frequency of a sonometer wire is $n$. If the tension is increased $3$ times,the length is increased $3$ times,and the diameter is increased $2$ times,what will be the new frequency?

In an experiment with a sonometer,when a mass of $180\,g$ is attached to the string,it vibrates with a fundamental frequency of $30\,Hz$. When a mass $m$ is attached,the string vibrates with a fundamental frequency of $50\,Hz$. The value of $m$ is $.........\,g$.
