A plano creates sound by gently strinking a taut wire with a soft hammer when a key on the piano is pressed.All piano wires in a given piano are approximately the same length.However, each wire is tied down at two points.the bridge and the giraffe. The length of the wire between the bridge and the agraffe is called the speaking length.The speaking length is the part of the wire that resonates.The point of the wire struck by the hammer is displaced perpendicularly to the wire's length.A standing wave is generated by the hammer strike, where v is the velocity of travelling wave.T is the tension in the wire, and `mu` is the mass per unit length of the wire.
`v=sqrt(T/mu)`
Tuning a piano involves adjustment of the tension in the wires until just the right pitch is achieved.Correct pitch is achieved by listening to the beat frequency between the piano and a precalibrated tuning fork.
A piano with which of the following properties would deliver a note with the lowest pitch ?

A piano note is compared to a tuning fork vibrating at 440 Hz.Three beats per second are listened by the piano tunner.When the tension in the string is increased slightly, the beat frequency increases.What was the initial frequency of the piano wire ?

The length and cross-section of the wire of meter bridge are

A sonometer wire resonates with a tuning fork. If the length of the wire between the bridges is made twice even then it can resonate with the same tuning fork. How ?

The length of a wire is l_A when the tension in it is T_A and of another wire is l_B when the tension is T_B . The original length of the wire is

For two wires of the same material and having the same length, the resistance of the thicker wire is less than that of the other wire ?

The ratio of diameters of two wires of same material is n:1 . The length of each wire is 4 m . On applying the same load, the increases in the length of the thin wire will be (n gt 1)

A streched wire vibrating in fundamental mode is in unision with a tuning fork. Keeping the same tension, the length of the wire between the bridges is doubled. The tuning fork can still be in resonance with the wire. Provided the wire now vibrates in
