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

  • A
    $1: 3$
  • B
    $3: 1$
  • C
    $1: 9$
  • D
    $9: 1$
