Two uniform stretched strings $A$ and $B$, made of steel, are vibrating 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

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

At poles,a stretched wire of a given length vibrates in unison with a tuning fork. At the equator,for the same setting,to produce resonance with the same fork,the vibrating length of the wire

In a Sonometer experiment,the frequency of the tuning fork used is $288 \ Hz$. Harmonics will '$NOT$' be produced at the frequency: (in $Hz$)

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:

$A$ tuning fork is sounded with a sonometer wire of length $95 \, cm$ or $100 \, cm$,producing $4$ beats per second in both cases. What is the frequency of the tuning fork in $Hz$?

$A$ thin wire of length $99 \ cm$ is fixed at both ends as shown in the figure. The wire is kept under a tension and is divided into three segments of lengths $l_1, l_2$ and $l_3$ as shown in the figure. When the wire is made to vibrate, the segments vibrate respectively with their fundamental frequencies in the ratio $1: 2: 3$. Then, the lengths $l_1, l_2$ and $l_3$ of the segments respectively are (in $cm$):
