Two uniform strings $A$ and $B$ made of steel are made to vibrate under the same tension. If the first overtone of $A$ is equal to the second overtone of $B$ and if the radius of $A$ is twice that of $B$,the ratio of the lengths of the strings is :

  • A
    $1: 2$
  • B
    $1: 3$
  • C
    $1: 4$
  • D
    $1: 5$

In an experiment with a sonometer,a tuning fork of frequency $256 \ Hz$ resonates with a length of $25 \ cm$ and another tuning fork resonates with a length of $16 \ cm$. If the tension of the string remains constant,the frequency of the second tuning fork is .... $Hz$

$A$ sonometer wire resonates with a given tuning fork,forming a standing wave with $5$ antinodes between two bridges when a mass of $9 \ kg$ is suspended from the wire. When a mass '$m$' is suspended from the wire,with the same tuning fork and the same length between the two bridges,$3$ antinodes are formed. The value of mass '$m$' is: (in $kg$)

$A$ string of length $1\, m$ and mass $5\, g$ is fixed at both ends. The tension in the string is $8.0\, N$. The string is set into vibration using an external vibrator of frequency $100\, Hz$. The separation between successive nodes on the string is close to .... $cm$

$A$ sonometer wire of length $114\, cm$ is fixed at both the ends. Where should the two bridges be placed so as to divide the wire into three segments whose fundamental frequencies are in the ratio $1 : 3 : 4$?
