Two uniform strings of mass per unit length $\mu$ and $4 \mu$,and length $L$ and $2 L$,respectively,are joined at point $O$,and tied at two fixed ends $P$ and $Q$,as shown in the figure. The strings are under a uniform tension $T$. If we define the frequency $v_0=\frac{1}{2 L} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}$,which of the following statement$(s)$ is(are) correct?
$(A)$ With a node at $O$,the minimum frequency of vibration of the composite string is $v_0$
$(B)$ With an antinode at $O$,the minimum frequency of vibration of the composite string is $2 v_0$
$(C)$ When the composite string vibrates at the minimum frequency with a node at $O$,it has $6$ nodes,including the end nodes
$(D)$ No vibrational mode with an antinode at $O$ is possible for the composite string

  • B
    $A, C$
  • C
    $A, B, C$

In the Kundt's tube experiment (shown in fig. $(i)$),the rod is clamped at the center. In the modified experiment (shown in fig. $(ii)$),the rod is clamped at the end. It is known that the speed of sound in air is $330\ m/s$,the powder piles up at successive distances of $0.6\ m$,and the length of the rod used is $1\ m$. Calculate the speed of sound in the rod in $m/s$.
