What is the percentage change in the tension necessary in a sonometer of fixed length to produce a note one octave lower (half of original frequency) than before?

A

`25%`

B

`50%`

C

`67%`

D

`75%`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
In Sonometer
`Vprop sqrt(T)`
`rArr T_(2)=(T_(1))/(4)`
`(T_(1)-T_(2))/(T_(1))xx100=(T_(1)-(T_(1))/(4))/(T_(1))xx100=75%`

A heavy string is tied at one end to a movable support and to a light thread at the other end as shown in figure. The thread goes over a fixed pulley and supports a weight to produce a tension. The lowest frequency with which the heavy string resonates is 120 Hz. If the movable support is pushed to the right by 10 cm so that the joint is placed on the pulley, what will be the minimum frequency at which the heavy string can resonate ? .

The fundatmental frequency of a sonometer wire increases by 6 Hz if its tension is increased by 44% keeping the length constant. Find the change in the fundamental frequency of the sonometer when the length of the wire is increased by 20% keeping the original tension in the wire.

Two identical sonometer wires have a fundamental frequency of 500 Hz when kept under the same tension . The percentage change in tension of one of the wires that would cause an occurrence of 5 beats//s , when both wires vibrate together is

Two tuning forks produce 5 beats when sounded together. A is in unison with 40 cm length of a sonometer wire under a constant tension and B is in unison with the same wire of length 40.5 cm under the same tension. Calculate fundamental frequency of the forks.

Two wires are in unison. If the tension in one of the wires is increased by 2%, 5 beats are produced per second. The initial frequency of each wire is
