The frequency of a sonometer wire is f ....

The frequency of a sonometer wire is f . When the weight producting the tensions are completely. Immersed in water the frequency becomes `f//2` and on immersing the weight in acertain liquid the fequency becomes `f//3`. The specific gravity of the liquid is

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
The tension decreases and so the frequency also decreases.
