Two vibrating strings of the same material but lengths $L$ and $2L$ have radii $2r$ and $r$ respectively. They are stretched under the same tension. Both the strings vibrate in their fundamental modes,the one of length $L$ with frequency $n_1$ and the other with frequency $n_2$. The ratio $n_1/n_2$ is given by

$A$ string on a musical instrument is $50 \ cm$ long and its fundamental frequency is $270 \ Hz$. If the desired frequency of $1000 \ Hz$ is to be produced,the required length of the string is .... $cm$.

When a vibrating tuning fork is placed on a sound box of a sonometer, $8$ beats per second are heard when the length of the sonometer wire is kept at $101 \,cm$ or $100 \,cm$. Then the frequency of the tuning fork is (Consider that the tension in the wire is kept constant). (in $\,Hz$)

$A$ stretched wire of length $260 \ cm$ is set into vibrations. It is divided into three segments whose frequencies are in the ratio $2:3:4$. Their lengths must be

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 $(Hz)$.

$A$ sonometer wire resonates with $4$ antinodes between the two bridges for a given tuning fork when a $1 \text{ kg}$ mass is suspended from the wire. Using the same fork, when mass $M$ is suspended, the wire resonates producing $2$ antinodes between the two bridges. (The distance between the bridges remains the same). The value of $M$ is: (in $\text{ kg}$)
