Questions  

Two vibrating strings of the same material but lengths L and 2L have radii 2r and r respectively. They are stretched under the same tension. Both the strings vibrate in their fundamental modes, the one of length L with frequency n1 and the other with frequency n2. The ratio n1/n2 is given by

a
2
b
4
c
8
d
1

detailed solution

Correct option is D

Fundamental frequency  n=12lTπr2ρwhere m = Mass per unit length of wire⇒n∝=1lr⇒n1n2=r2r1×l2l1=r2r×2LL=11
