A sonometer wire of length l vibrates in fundamental mode when excited by a tunning fork of frequency 416 Hz. If the length is double keeping other things same the string will

A

vibrating with a frequency of 416 Hz

B

vibrate with a frequency of 208 Hz

C

vibrate with a frequency of 832 Hz

D

stop vibrating

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Since tension and mass per unit length remains unchanged, the frequency will be obtained in different mode.
