When tension $T$ is applied to a sonometer wire of length $l$, it vibrates with the fundamental frequency $n$. Keeping the setup same, when the tension is increased by $8 \,N$, the fundamental frequency becomes three times the earlier. The initial tension applied to the wire was: (in $\,N$)

  • A
    $1$
  • B
    $0.5$
  • C
    $2$
  • D
    $4$

$A$ sonometer wire stretched by weight '$w$' is in unison with a tuning fork. The corresponding resonating length is '$L_1$'. If the weight is increased by '$3w$',the corresponding resonating length of the sonometer in unison with the tuning fork becomes '$L_2$'. The ratio $\left(\frac{L_1}{L_2}\right)$ is:
