The given diagram shows three light pieces of paper placed on a wire that is stretched over two supports,$Q$ and $R$,a distance $4x$ apart. When the wire is made to vibrate at a particular frequency,all the pieces of paper,except the middle one,fall off the wire. Which of the following could be the wavelength of the vibration (in $x$)?

  • A
    $2$
  • B
    $3$
  • C
    $4$
  • D
    $8$

The length of a sonometer wire is $0.75\, m$ and density is $9 \times 10^3\, kg/m^3$. It can bear a stress of $8.1 \times 10^8\, N/m^2$ without exceeding the elastic limit. What is the fundamental frequency that can be produced in the wire in $Hz$?

$A$ uniform string is vibrating with a fundamental frequency '$n$'. If the radius and length of the string are both doubled while keeping the tension constant,then the new frequency of vibration is:

Show that when a string fixed at its two ends vibrates in $1$ loop,$2$ loops,$3$ loops and $4$ loops,the frequencies are in the ratio $1 : 2 : 3 : 4$.
