An object of specific gravity `rho` is hung from a thin steel wire. The fundamental frequency for transverse standing waves in wire is `300 Hz`. The object is immersed in water so that one half of its volume is submerged. The new fundamental frequency in `Hz` is

A

`300 ((2 rho-1)/(2 rho))^(1//2)`

B

`300((2 rho)/(2 rho -1))^(1//2)`

C

`300 ((2 rho)/(2 rho-1))`

D

`300 ((2 rho-1)/(2 rho))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

`f=(1)/(2L)sqrt((T)/(mu))`
`f'=(2)/(2L)sqrt((T)/(mu)(1+(1)/(2rho)))rArrf'=fsqrt((2 rho-1)/(2 rho))`

A sonometer wire under tension of 64 N vibrating in its fundamental mode is in resonance with a vibrating tuning fork. The vibrating portion of the sonometer wire has a length of 10 cm and mass of 1 kg. The vibrating tuning fork is now moved away from the vibrating wire with a constant speed and an observer standing near the sonometer hears one beat per second. Calculate the speed with which the tuning fork is moved, if the speed of sound in air is 300 m/s.
