Unlike a laboratory sonometer,a stringed instrument is seldom plucked in the middle. Supposing a sitar string is plucked at about $\frac{1}{4}$th of its length from the end. The most prominent harmonic would be

  • A
    Eighth
  • B
    Fourth
  • C
    Third
  • D

$A$ stationary wave is produced along a stretched string of length $80 \,cm$. The resonant frequencies of the string are $90 \,Hz$, $150 \,Hz$, and $210 \,Hz$. The speed of the transverse wave in the string is: (in $\,m/s$)

The fundamental frequency of a transverse wave of a stretched string subjected to a tension $T_1$ is $300 \ Hz$. If the length of the string is doubled and subjected to a tension of $T_2$, the fundamental frequency of the transverse wave in the string becomes $100 \ Hz$. Then $T_2: T_1=$ (Linear density of the string is constant)

Length of a sonometer wire is either $95 \ cm$ or $100 \ cm$. In both the cases,a tuning fork produces $5 \ beats/sec$ with the wire. The frequency of the tuning fork is- (in $Hz$)

$A$ wire stretched between two rigid supports vibrates in its fundamental mode with a frequency of $25 \ Hz$. The mass of the wire is $2 \ g$ and its linear mass density is $4 \times 10^{-3} \ kg/m$. What is the tension in the string (in $N$)?

Two identical strings of length $\ell$ and $2\ell$ vibrate with fundamental frequencies $N$ Hz and $1.5N$ Hz,respectively. The ratio of tensions for the smaller length to the larger length is
