Two vibrating strings of the same material but lengths L and 2 L have radii 2 r and r respectively. They are stretched under the same tension. Both the strings vibrate in their fundamental modes, the one of length L with frequency v₁ and the other with frequency v₂ . The ratio v₁ / v₂ is
Options
- A2
- B4
- C8
- D1
Correct answer
D. 1
Step-by-step solution
Fundamental frequency, array ll & v= 1 2 l T m = 1 2 l T r^2 or & v 1 l r & v₁ v₂ = l₂ r₂ l₁ r₁ = 2 L r L 2 r =1 array
