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:

  • A
    $2$
  • B
    $0.5$
  • C
    $1$
  • D
    $2.5$

$A$ steel wire is used to stretch a spring. An oscillating magnetic field drives the steel wire up and down. $A$ standing wave with three antinodes is created when the spring is stretched by $4.0\, cm$. What stretch of the spring produces a standing wave with two antinodes with the same frequency (in $, cm$)?

The transverse displacement in a stretched string is given by $y = 0.06 \sin \left( \frac{2\pi}{3}x \right) \cos (120\pi t)$,where $x$ and $y$ are in $m$ and $t$ is in $s$. The length of the string is $1.5 \, m$ and its mass is $3.0 \times 10^{-2} \, kg$. The tension in the string is ..... $N$.

$A$ 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 $\text{ kg}$)

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 $(Hz)$.
