The length of a sonometer wire tuned to a frequency of 100Hz is 0.5m . Calculate the frequency of the tuning fork with which the vibrating wire will be in tune when the length is made0.2m .

a
250 Hz
b
512 Hz
c
384 Hz
d
126 Hz

detailed solution

Correct option is A

Frequency n1=100 Hz Length l1=0.5 m Length l2=0.2 m Frequency n2=? n1l1=n2l2 100(0.5)=n2(0.2) n2=100(0.5)0.2 ∴ n2=250 Hz
