In a sonometer experiment,a string of length $L$ under tension vibrates in its second overtone between two bridges. The amplitude of vibration is maximum at:

  • A
    $\frac{L}{6}, \frac{L}{2}, \frac{5L}{6}$
  • B
    $\frac{L}{8}, \frac{L}{4}, \frac{L}{2}$
  • C
    $\frac{L}{2}, \frac{L}{4}, \frac{L}{6}$
  • D
    $\frac{L}{3}, \frac{2L}{3}, \frac{5L}{6}$

$A$ sonometer wire of length $25 \,cm$ vibrates in unison with a tuning fork. When its length is decreased by $1 \,cm$, $6$ beats are heard per second. What is the frequency of the tuning fork (in $\,Hz$)?

Two identical strings $X$ and $Z$ made of the same material have tensions $T_{x}$ and $T_{z}$ in them. If their fundamental frequencies are $450\, Hz$ and $300\, Hz$,respectively,then the ratio $T_{x} / T_{z}$ is:

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:

$A$ string vibrates in its fundamental mode when a tension $T_1$ is applied to it. If the length of the string is decreased by $25 \%$ and the tension applied is changed to $T_2$,the fundamental frequency of the string increases by $100 \%$,then $\frac{T_2}{T_1} =$ (Linear density of the string is constant)

$A$ steel wire of length $1.25 \ m$ is stretched between two rigid supports. The tension in the wire produces an elastic strain of $0.14 \%$. The fundamental frequency of the wire is (Density and Young's modulus of steel are $7.7 \times 10^3 \ kg \ m^{-3}$ and $2.2 \times 10^{11} \ N \ m^{-2}$ respectively). (in $Hz$)
