Two uniform wires of same material are vibrating under the same tension. If the $1^{\text{st}}$ overtone of the $1^{\text{st}}$ wire is equal to the $2^{\text{nd}}$ overtone of the $2^{\text{nd}}$ wire and the radius of the $1^{\text{st}}$ wire is twice the radius of the $2^{\text{nd}}$ wire,find the ratio of the length of the $1^{\text{st}}$ wire to that of the $2^{\text{nd}}$ wire.

  • B
    $3: 1$
  • C
    $2: 3$
  • D

An iron load of $2 \ kg$ is suspended in air from the free end of a sonometer wire of length $1 \ m$. $A$ tuning fork of frequency $256 \ Hz$ is in resonance with $\frac{1}{\sqrt{7}}$ times the length of the sonometer wire. If the load is immersed in water, the length of the wire in metres that will be in resonance with the same tuning fork is (Specific gravity of iron $= 8$).

Obtain the equation of frequency of oscillations in a string tied at both ends.

When a sonometer wire vibrates in the third overtone,there are:

$A$ stone is hung in air from a wire which is stretched over a sonometer. The bridges of the sonometer are $L \, cm$ apart when the wire is in unison with a tuning fork of frequency $N$. When the stone is completely immersed in water,the length between the bridges is $l \, cm$ for re-establishing unison. The specific gravity of the material of the stone is:

$A$ tuning fork gives $5$ beats per second with $40 \ cm$ length of a sonometer wire. If the length of the wire is shortened by $1 \ cm$,the number of beats is still the same. The frequency of the fork is (in $Hz$)
