A string of length 2 m is fixed at both ends. If this string vibrates in its fourth normal mode with a frequency of 500 Hz then the waves would travel on its with a velocity of 

a
125 m/s
b
250 m/s
c
500 m/s
d
1000 m/s

detailed solution

Correct option is C

For string λ=2lpwhere p = No. of loops = Order of vibrationHence for forth mode p = 4 ⇒λ=l2Hence v=nλ=500×22=500 m/s
