Two wires and have the same radius and respective, densities and , such that . They are joined together at the point , as shown in the figure. The combination is used as a sonometer wire and kept under tension . The point is midway between the two bridges. When a stationary wave is set up in the composite wire, the joint is found to be a node. The ratio of the number of antinodes formed in to is

Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
B.
Step-by-step solution
Let and be the number of antinodes of both wires.
Fundamental frequency remains the same for both wires.
From the above equation, we have
The ratio of antinodes is .
