Two uniform wires of same material are vibrating under the same tension. If the $1^{\text{st}}$ overtone of the $1^{\text{st}}$ wire is equal to the $2^{\text{nd}}$ overtone of the $2^{\text{nd}}$ wire and the radius of the $1^{\text{st}}$ wire is twice the radius of the $2^{\text{nd}}$ wire,find the ratio of the length of the $1^{\text{st}}$ wire to that of the $2^{\text{nd}}$ wire.

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

$A$ wire of length $L$ and mass per unit length $6.0 \times 10^{-3} \; kg/m$ is put under a tension of $540 \; N$. Two consecutive frequencies at which it resonates are $420 \; Hz$ and $490 \; Hz$. Then $L$ in meters is: (in $; m$)

$A$ wire of length $L$, diameter $d$, and density of material $\rho$ is under tension $T$ and has a fundamental frequency of vibration $n_A$. Another wire of length $2L$, diameter $3d$, and density of material $2\rho$ is vibrated under tension $2T$, and its fundamental frequency of vibration becomes $n_B$. The ratio $n_B : n_A$ is

$A$ sonometer wire resonates with $4$ antinodes between two bridges for a given tuning fork, when $1 \,kg$ mass is suspended from the wire. Using the same fork, when mass $M$ is suspended, the wire resonates producing $2$ antinodes between the two bridges (the distance between the two bridges remains the same). The value of $M$ is: (in $\,kg$)

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
