$A$ wire of length $L$, diameter $d$, and density of material $\rho$ is under tension $T$ and has a fundamental frequency of vibration $n_A$. Another wire of length $2L$, diameter $3d$, and density of material $2\rho$ is vibrated under tension $2T$, and its fundamental frequency of vibration becomes $n_B$. The ratio $n_B : n_A$ is

  • A
    $1 : 2$
  • B
    $1 : 4$
  • C
    $1 : 6$
  • D
    $1 : 8$

Two strings $A$ and $B$ of lengths $L_A = 80 \text{ cm}$ and $L_B = x \text{ cm}$ respectively are used separately in a sonometer. The ratio of their densities $(d_A / d_B)$ is $0.81$. The diameter of $B$ is one-half that of $A$. If the strings have the same tension and fundamental frequency, the value of $x$ is:
