$n$ waves are produced on a string in $1 \ s$. When the radius of the string is doubled,keeping the tension the same,the number of waves produced in $1 \ s$ for the same harmonic will be

  • A
    $2n$
  • B
    $\frac{n}{2}$
  • C
    $\frac{n}{\sqrt{2}}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{2}n$

The fundamental frequency of a sonometer wire is $n$. If the tension is increased $3$ times,the length is increased $3$ times,and the diameter is increased $2$ times,what will be the new frequency?

$A$ sonometer wire has a length of $114 \ cm$, between two fixed ends. Where should two bridges be placed so as to divide the wire into three segments (in $cm$) whose fundamental frequencies are in the ratio $1:3:4$?

$A$ wire of density $9 \times 10^3 \,kg/m^3$ is stretched between two clamps $1 \,m$ apart and is subjected to an extension of $4.9 \times 10^{-4} \,m$. What will be the lowest frequency of the transverse vibrations in the wire in $Hz$ $[Y = 9 \times 10^{10} \,N/m^2]$?

$A$ 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 $cm$):

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
