The total length of a sonometer wire fixed between two bridges is . Now, two more bridges are placed to divide the length of the wire in the ratio . If the tension in the wire is and the mass per unit length of the wire is , then the minimum common frequency with which all the three parts can vibrate, is
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
The frequancy in any mode for a segment is
no of loops ∝ length of the segment
so, no of loops are in the ratio 6:3:2
hence total loops =11
The string is divided in 60 cm, 30 cm, & 20 cm part such that for minimum frequency, the wavelength is maximum
