$A$ sonometer wire is in unison with a tuning fork when it is stretched by weight $w$ and the corresponding resonating length is $L_1$. If the weight is reduced to $\frac{w}{4}$,the corresponding resonating length becomes $L_2$. The ratio $\frac{L_1}{L_2}$ is:

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