The fundamental frequency of a sonometer...

The fundamental frequency of a sonometer wire is 200 Hz.
It is found that a tuning fork of frequency 400 Hz produces resonant vibrations in the same wire . Then the wire vibrates with

A

one loop

B

two loops

C

three loops

D

four loops

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Resonant frequency of the wire = `400` Hz
` :. ` It is the second harmonic .
` :. ` The wire vibrates with 2 loops .
