$A$ string of length $2 \ m$ is fixed at both ends. If this string vibrates in its fourth normal mode with a frequency of $500 \ Hz$,then the waves would travel on it with a velocity of ..... $m/s$.

$n$ waves are produced on a string in $1 \ s$. When the radius of the string is doubled,keeping the tension the same,the number of waves produced in $1 \ s$ for the same harmonic will be

$A$ wire of length $L$ and linear density $m$ is stretched between two rigid supports with tension $T$. It is observed that the wire resonates in the $P^{th}$ harmonic at a frequency of $320 \ Hz$ and resonates again at the next higher frequency of $400 \ Hz$. The value of $p$ is:

The length of a sonometer wire is $0.75\, m$ and density is $9 \times 10^3\, kg/m^3$. It can bear a stress of $8.1 \times 10^8\, N/m^2$ without exceeding the elastic limit. What is the fundamental frequency that can be produced in the wire in $Hz$?

Two wires are fixed in a sonometer. Their tensions are in the ratio $8:1$. The lengths are in the ratio $36:35$. The diameters are in the ratio $4:1$. Densities of the materials are in the ratio $1:2$. If the lower frequency in the setting is $360 \ Hz$,the beat frequency when the two wires are sounded together is: (in $Hz$)
