Question
Two vibrating string of the same material but of lengths L and 2L have radii 2r and r respectively. They are stretched under the same tension. Both the string vibrate in their fundamental modes. The one of length L with frequency v1 and the other with respectively v2. The ratio v1/v2 is given by
Options
A.2
B.4
C.8
D.1
Solution
Fundamental frequency is given by
(with both ends fixed)
∴ Fundamental frequency
(for same tension in both string)
where μ = mass per unit of wire
ρ.A (ρ = )
ρ.(πr2) or √μ ∝ r ∴
∴
