Two wires made up of the same material are of equal lengths but their diameter are in the ratio 1:2 . On stretching each of these two strings by the same tension , then the ratio of the fundamental frequency of these strings is

A

`1:4`

B

`1:2`

C

`2:1`

D

`4:1`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`n_1 prop 1/d_1 " and " n_2 prop 1/d_2`
`n_1/n_2 = d_2/d_1 = 2/1`
