If a string fixed at both ends having fundamental frequency of `240 Hz` is vibrated with the help of a tuning fork having frequency `280 Hz `, then the

A

string will vibrate with a frequency of `240 Hz`

B

string will be in resonance with the tuning fork

C

string will vibrate with the frequency of tuning fork , but resonance condition will not be achieved

D

string will vibrate with a frequency of `260 Hz`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
If none of the natural freqencies of the string matches with the source frequency of the source, then string will finally with the frequency of tuning fork, but hero resonanace condition would not be found.
