Two identical straight wires are stretch...

Two identical straight wires are stretched so as to produce ` 6 beats//s` when vibrating simultaneously . On changing the tension slightly in one of them , the beats frequency remains unchanged . If `T_(1) and T_(2)` are initial tensions in strings such that `T_(1) gt T_(2)` then it may be said while making above changes in tension :

A

`T_(2)` was decreased

B

`T_(1)` was increased

C

both `T_(1) and T_(2)` were increased

D

either `T_(2)` was increased or `T_(1)` was decreased

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

Eithere , frequency of first wire should decrease or frequency of second wire should increase.

Two idential straight wires are stretched so as to produce 6 beats per second when vibrating simultaneously. On changing the tension slightly in one of them, the beat frequency remains unchanged. Denoting by T_(1) , T_(2) the higher and the lower initial tension in the strings, then it could be said that while making the above changes in tension,

Two identical straight wires are stretched so as to products 6 beats// s when vibrating simultaneously. On changing the tension slightly in one of them, the beat frequency remains unchanged. Denoting by T_(2) , T_(2) the higher and the lower initial tension in the strings, then it could be said that that while making the above changes in tension (a) T_(2) was decreased (b) T_(2) was decreased (c) T_(1) was decreased (d) T_(1) was decreased

Determine the tension T_(1) and T_(2) in the strings shown in Fig.

Two identical wires are stretched by the same tension of 101 N and each emits a note of frequency 202 Hz . If the tension in one wire is increased by 1N , then the beat frequency is

Two identical wires are streched by the same tension of 100 N and each emits a note of frequency 200 H_(Z) . If the tension in one wire is increased by 1 N , then the beat frequency is

Determine the tensions T_(1) and T_(2) in the string as shown in figure.

Two wires are stretched under tension of T_(1) and T_(2) such that T_(2) gt T_(1) , producing 4 beats per seconds on vibrating. When the tension in one of them is changed slightly even then the beat frequency remains 4. Which of the two T_(1) or T_(2) should be increased or decreased ?

In fig tension in the string that connects the masses A and B is T_(1) and that in the string connecting B and C is T_(2) then T_(1)/T_(2) is:
