A metallic wire of length $L$ is fixed between two rigid supports. If the wire is cooled through a temperature difference $\Delta T$ ($Y$ = young’s modulus, $\rho$ = density, $\alpha$ = coefficient of linear expansion) then the frequency of transverse vibration is proportional to : 
  • A$\frac{\alpha }{{\sqrt {\rho Y} }}$
  • B$\sqrt {\frac{{Y\alpha }}{\rho }} $
  • C$\frac{\rho }{{\sqrt {Y\alpha } }}$
  • D$\sqrt {\frac{{\rho \alpha }}{Y}} $
