How does the frequency of a vibrating wire change when the attached load is immersed in water.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
On immersing load in water, the apparent weight of the load and hence the tension in the sting decreases. Since `v prop sqrt(T)`, the frequency of the vibrating wire decreases.
