The tension of a sonometer wire may be quadrupled by
A. doubling the lengih of the wire B. doubling the mass of the wire C. increasing the fundamental frequency of vibration by 2 D. reducing the ahsolute lemperature by half
Correct Answer: C
Explanation
The fundamental frequency of vibration is given by where length of the wire tension = mass per unit length Thus; .(ii) or and ....(iii) (ii) above is a direct relationship. It means increment in such as doubling it will result in a geometrical increase in i.e. quadruples and increasing by 4 will increase by 16 et cetera
