Two wires of the same material with radii $r$ and $2r$ respectively are welded together end to end. The combination is then used as a sonometer wire under tension $T$. The joint is kept midway between the two bridges. The ratio of the number of loops in the wires,given that the joint is a node,is:

  • A
    $1:5$
  • B
    $1:2$
  • C
    $1:4$
  • D
    $1:3$

$A$ 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 $\,kg$)

$A$ string is clamped at both ends and it is vibrating in its $4^{th}$ harmonic. The equation of the stationary wave is $Y = 0.3 \sin(0.157 x) \cos(200\pi t)$. The length of the string is ..... $m$ (all quantities are in $SI$ units).

$A$ 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 ..... $Hz$.

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 ..... $N$.

$A$ tuning fork vibrating with a sonometer having $20 \ cm$ wire produces $5$ beats per second. The beat frequency does not change if the length of the wire is changed to $21 \ cm$. The frequency of the tuning fork (in Hertz) must be
