$A$ uniform wire of length $L$,diameter $D$,and density $\rho$ is stretched by a tension $T$. The frequency $f$ of the wire is proportional to:

  • A
    $f \propto \frac{L}{D}$
  • B
    $f \propto \frac{1}{L D}$
  • C
    $f \propto \frac{1}{L \sqrt{D}}$
  • D
    $f \propto \frac{1}{L D^2}$

The length and diameter of a metal wire used in a sonometer are both doubled. The fundamental frequency will change from $n$ to:

The total length of a sonometer wire between fixed ends is $110 \ cm$. Two bridges are placed to divide the length of the wire in the ratio $6 : 3 : 2$. The tension in the wire is $400 \ N$ and the mass per unit length is $0.01 \ kg/m$. What is the minimum common frequency with which the three parts can vibrate in $Hz$?

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 $f_1$ and the other with frequency $f_2$. The ratio $\frac{f_1}{f_2}$ is given by

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 $.........\,g$.

Two vibrating strings $A$ and $B$ of the same material but lengths $3 L$ and $2 L$ have radii $2 r$ and $3 r$ respectively. They are stretched under the same tension. String $A$ vibrates in the second overtone and string $B$ in the fundamental mode. The ratio of their frequencies $n_A / n_B$ will be:
