Is it possible to monitor the temperature of a wire by measuring its vibrational frequency?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Yes, `v=(p)/(2l)sqrt((T)/(m))`
As, temperature increases, length increases. Therefore, frequency of vibration v decreases. Hence, changes in temperature can be monitored.
