Two wires W_(1) "and"W_(2) have the same radius r and respective densities p_(1) "and" p_(2) such that p_(2) = 4p_(1). They are joined together at the point O, as shown in the figure. The combination is used as a sonometer wire and kept udner tension T. The point O is midway between the two bridges. When a stationary waves is set up in the composite wire, the joint is found to be a node. The ratio of the number of antinodes formed in W_(1) "to" W_(2) is-

One end of wires of the same metal and of same length (with radius, r and 2r ) are joined together. The wire is used as sonometer wire and the junction is placed in between two bridges. The tension T is applied to the wire. If at a junction a node is formed then the ratio of number of loops formed in the wires will be:
