A string is tied on a sonometer, second end is hanging downward through a pulley with tension T. The velocity of the transverse wave produced is proportional to?
The fundamental frequency of a sonometer wire is n. If the tension is made 3 times and length and diameter are also increased 3 times, the new frequency will be?
A.
3n
B.
n/3√3
C.
n/3
D.
√3 n
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
n=1/LD×√(T/πρ) n‘=1/(3L×3D)×√(3T/πρ)=√3/9×n=1/(3√3) n.
