If the tension and diameter of a sonometer wire of fundamental frequency vare doubled and density is halved, then its fundamental frequency will become

A

v/4

B

v

C

`sqrt(2)` v

D

v/`sqrt(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

n = `(1)/(2l ) sqrt((T)/(m)) = (1)/(2l ) sqrt((T)/(pi r^(2).rho)) `
Since tension and diameter both are doubled, so frequency remains the same.
Correct chocie is b.
