In an experiment to study standing waves,you use a string whose mass per unit length is $\mu = (1.0 \pm 0.1) \times 10^{-4} \ kg/m$. You look at the fundamental mode,whose frequency $f$ is related to the length $L$ and tension $T$ of the string by the equation $L = \frac{1}{2f} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}$. You make a plot with $L$ on the $y$-axis and $\sqrt{T}$ on the $x$-axis,and find that the best-fitting line is $y = (8.0 \pm 0.3) \times 10^{-3}x + (0.2 \pm 0.04)$ in $SI$ units. What is the value of the frequency of the wave (including the error)? Express your result in $SI$ units $(Hz)$.

$A$ wire of density $9 \times 10^{-3} \,kg\, cm^{-3}$ is stretched between two clamps $1 \,m$ apart. The resulting strain in the wire is $4.9 \times 10^{-4}$. The lowest frequency of the transverse vibrations in the wire is......$Hz$ (Young's modulus of wire $Y = 9 \times 10^{10} \,N m^{-2}$),(to the nearest integer).

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?

In order to double the frequency of the fundamental note emitted by a stretched string, the length is reduced to $\frac{3}{4}$ of the original length and the tension is changed. The factor by which the tension is to be changed is

If $n_{1}, n_{2}$ and $n_{3}$ are the fundamental frequencies of three segments into which a string is divided,then the original fundamental frequency $n$ of the string is given by
