A string of length $1\,\,m$ and linear mass density $0.01\,\,kgm^{-1}$ is stretched to a tension of $100\,\,N.$ When both ends of the string are fixed, the three lowest frequencies for standing wave are $f_1, f_2$ and $f_3$. When only one end of the string is fixed, the three lowest frequencies for standing wave are $n_1, n_2$ and $n_3$. Then
  • A$n_3 = 5n_1 = f_3 = 125 \,\,Hz$
  • B$f_3 = 5f_1 = n_2 = 125 \,\,Hz$
  • C$f_3 = n_2 = 3f_1 = 150 \,\,Hz$
  • D$n_2 =\frac{{{f_1} + {f_2}}}{2} = 75 \,\,Hz $

    A vibrating string of certain length $l$ under a tension $T$ resonates with a mode corresponding to the first overtone (third harmonic) of an air column of length $75\, cm$ inside a tube closed at one end. The string also generates $4\, beats$ per second when excited along with a tuning fork of frequency $n$. Now when the tension of the string is slightly increased the number of beats reduces to $2\, per second$. Assuming the velocity of sound in air to be $340\, m/s$, the frequency $n$ of the tuning fork in $Hz$ is

    A standing wave is formed by the superposition of two waves travelling in opposite directions. The transverse displacement is given by $y\left( {x,t} \right) = 0.5\sin\, \left( {\frac{{5\pi }}{4}x} \right)\,\cos\, \left( {200\,\pi t} \right)$. What is the speed of the travelling wave moving in the positive $x$ direction .... $m/s$ ? ($x$ and $t$ are in meter and second, respectively.)
