A metallic wire of length $L$ is fixed between two rigid supports. If the wire is cooled through a temperature difference $\Delta T (Y =$ young’s modulus, $\rho =$ density, $\alpha =$ coefficient of linear expansion) then the frequency of transverse vibration is proportional to : 

  • A

    $\frac{\alpha }{{\sqrt {\rho Y} }}$

  • B

    $\sqrt {\frac{{Y\alpha }}{\rho }} $

  • C

    $\frac{\rho }{{\sqrt {Y\alpha } }}$

  • D

    $\sqrt {\frac{{\rho \alpha }}{Y}} $
