To make the frequency double of an oscillator, we have to

A

half the mass

B

quadruple the mass

C

double the mass

D

reduce the mass to one-fourth

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
(d) Frequency of oscillator, `n=(1)/(2pi)sqrt((K)/(m))`
We get, `(n_(2))/(n_(1))=sqrt((m_(1))/(m_(2)))`
`therefore 2=sqrt((m_(1))/(m_(2))` or `m_(2)=(1)/(4)m_(1)`
