Two wires made up of the same material are of equal lengths but their radii are in the ratio $1 : 2$. On stretching each of these two strings by the same tension,the ratio between the fundamental frequencies is

  • A
    $1 : 4$
  • B
    $4 : 1$
  • C
    $2 : 1$
  • D
    $1 : 2$

$A$ wire of length $1 \,m$ under a certain initial tension emits a sound of fundamental frequency $256 \,Hz$. When the tension is increased by $1 \,kg \,wt$,the frequency of the fundamental note increases to $320 \,Hz$. The initial tension is ........... $kg \,wt$.

$A$ sonometer wire has a length of $114 \ cm$, between two fixed ends. Where should two bridges be placed so as to divide the wire into three segments (in $cm$) whose fundamental frequencies are in the ratio $1:3:4$?

In Melde's experiment,the string vibrates in $4$ loops when a $50 \,g$ weight is placed in the pan of weight $15 \,g$. To make the string vibrate in $6$ loops,the weight that has to be removed from the pan is:

When tension $T$ is applied to a sonometer wire of length $\ell$,it vibrates with the fundamental frequency $n$. Keeping the experimental setup same,when the tension is increased by $8 \ N$,the fundamental frequency becomes three times the earlier fundamental frequency $(n)$. The initial tension applied to the wire in newton was:
