$A$ string vibrates in its fundamental mode when a tension $T_1$ is applied to it. If the length of the string is decreased by $25 \%$ and the tension applied is changed to $T_2$, the fundamental frequency of the string increases by $100 \%$, then $\frac{T_2}{T_1} =$ (Linear density of the string is constant)

  • A
    $\frac{3}{8}$
  • B
    $\frac{2}{3}$
  • C
    $\frac{8}{9}$
  • D
    $\frac{9}{4}$

Two uniform stretched strings $A$ and $B$, made of steel, are vibrating under the same tension. If the first overtone of $A$ is equal to the second overtone of $B$ and if the radius of $A$ is twice that of $B$, the ratio of the lengths of the strings is

Two wires $W_1$ and $W_2$ have the same radius $r$ and respective densities $\rho_1$ and $\rho_2$ such that $\rho_2 = 4\rho_1$. They are joined together at the point $O$,as shown in the figure. The combination is used as a sonometer wire and kept under tension $T$. The point $O$ is midway between the two bridges. When a stationary wave is set up in the composite wire,the joint is found to be a node. The ratio of the number of antinodes formed in $W_1$ to $W_2$ is

At the poles of the earth,a stretched wire of a given length vibrates in unison with a tuning fork. At the equator of the earth,for the same setting,to produce resonance with the same fork,the vibrating length of the wire
