Two uniform wires of the same material are vibrating under the same tension. If the first overtone of the first wire is equal to the second overtone of the second wire and the radius of the first wire is twice the radius of the second wire,then the ratio of the lengths of the first wire to the second wire is:

  • A
    $1/3$
  • B
    $1/4$
  • C
    $1/5$
  • D
    $1/6$

$A$ sonometer wire is vibrating in resonance with a tuning fork. Keeping the tension applied same,the length of the wire is doubled. Under what conditions would the tuning fork still be in resonance with the wire?

$A$ tuning fork resonates with a sonometer wire of length $1 \ m$ stretched with a tension of $6 \ N$. When the tension in the wire is changed to $54 \ N$,the same tuning fork produces $12$ beats per second with it. The frequency of the tuning fork is $Hz$.

The tension of a stretched string is increased by $69\%$. In order to keep its frequency of vibration constant,its length must be increased by .... $\%$

$A$ string vibrates with a frequency of $200 \ Hz$. When its length is doubled and tension is altered,it begins to vibrate with a frequency of $300 \ Hz$. The ratio of the new tension to the original tension is

Length of a sonometer wire is either $95 \ cm$ or $100 \ cm$. In both the cases,a tuning fork produces $5 \ beats/sec$ with the wire. The frequency of the tuning fork is- (in $Hz$)
