$A$ wire of length $L$ and linear density $m$ is stretched between two rigid supports with tension $T$. It is observed that the wire resonates in the $P^{th}$ harmonic at a frequency of $320 \ Hz$ and resonates again at the next higher frequency of $400 \ Hz$. The value of $p$ is:

  • A
    $2$
  • B
    $4$
  • C
    $8$
  • D

The transverse displacement in a stretched string is given by $y = 0.06 \sin \left( \frac{2\pi}{3}x \right) \cos (120\pi t)$,where $x$ and $y$ are in $m$ and $t$ is in $s$. The length of the string is $1.5 \, m$ and its mass is $3.0 \times 10^{-2} \, kg$. The tension in the string is ..... $N$.

Two uniform strings $A$ and $B$ made of steel are made to vibrate under the same tension. If the first overtone of $A$ is equal to the second overtone of $B$ and if the radius of $A$ is twice that of $B$, the ratio of the lengths of the strings is :

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

$A$ string of length $1 \, m$ fixed at both ends is vibrating in the $3^{rd}$ overtone. The tension in the string is $200 \, N$ and the linear mass density is $5 \, g/m$. The frequency of these vibrations is ..... $Hz$.

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:
