$A$ suspension bridge is to be built across a valley where it is known that the wind can gust at $5 \,s$ intervals. It is estimated that the speed of transverse waves along the span of the bridge would be $400 \,m/s$. The danger of resonant motions in the bridge at its fundamental frequency would be greater if the span had a length of .......... $m$.

  • A
    $2000$
  • B
    $1000$
  • C
    $400$
  • D
    $80$
