A sonometer wire of length l vibrates in fundamental mode when excited by a tunning fork of frequency 416 Hz. If the length is double keeping other things same the string will

A

vibrate with a frequency of `416 Hz`

B

vibrate with a frequency of `208 Hz`

C

vibrate with a frequency of `832 Hz`

D

stop vibrating

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
In both cases , the 'applied frequency ' is same . So , the frequency of vibration has to be same . However , the mode of vibration of the string be different .
