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

$A$ thin wire of length $99 \ cm$ is fixed at both ends as shown in the figure. The wire is kept under a tension and is divided into three segments of lengths $l_1, l_2$ and $l_3$ as shown in the figure. When the wire is made to vibrate,the segments vibrate respectively with their fundamental frequencies in the ratio $1: 2: 3$. Then,the lengths $l_1, l_2$ and $l_3$ of the segments respectively are (in $cm$):

$A$ sonometer wire $49 \ cm$ long is in unison with a tuning fork of frequency '$n$'. If the length of the wire is decreased by $1 \ cm$ and it is vibrated with the same tuning fork,$6$ beats are heard per second. The value of '$n$' is (in $Hz$)

If you set up the $7^{th}$ overtone on a string fixed at both ends,how many nodes and antinodes are set up in it?

Show that when a string fixed at its two ends vibrates in $1$ loop,$2$ loops,$3$ loops and $4$ loops,the frequencies are in the ratio $1 : 2 : 3 : 4$.

In order to double the frequency of the fundamental note emitted by a stretched string,the length is reduced to $\frac{3}{4}$ of the original length and the tension is changed. The factor by which the tension is to be changed is
