Four wires of identical length, diameters and of the same material are stretched on a sonometre wire. If the ratio of their tensions is $1 : 4 : 9 : 16$ then the ratio of their fundamental frequencies are
A$16 : 9 : 4 : 1$
B$4 : 3 : 2 : 1$
C$1 : 4 : 2 : 16$
D$1 : 2 : 3 : 4$

D$1 : 2 : 3 : 4$
d (d) $n \propto \sqrt T $
==> ${n_1}:{n_2}:{n_3}:{n_4} = \sqrt 1 :\sqrt 4 :\sqrt 9 :\sqrt {16} = 1:2:3:4$

A student is performing the experiment of resonance column. The diameter of the column tube is $6 \,cm$. The frequency of the tuning fork is $504\, Hz$. Speed of the sound at the given temperature is $336\, m / s$. The zero of the meter scale coincides with the top end of the resonance column tube. The reading of the water level in the column when the first resonance occurs is..........$cm$
A heavy ball of mass $M$ is suspended from the ceiling of car by a light string of mass $m (m << M)$. When the car is at rest, the speed of transverse waves in the string is $60\, ms^{-1}$. When the car has acceleration $a$ , the wave-speed increases to $60.5\, ms^{-1}$. The value of $a$ , in terms of gravitational acceleration $g$ is closest to
A detector is released from rest over a source of sound of frequency $f = 10^3 \,\,Hz$. The frequency observed by the detector at time $t$ is plotted in the graph. The speed of sound in air is $(g = 10 \,\,m/s^2)$ ... $m/s$
A tuning fork vibrates with frequency $256\, Hz$ and gives one beat per second with the third normal mode of vibration of an open pipe . What is the length of the pipe? ... $cm$ (Speed of sound of air is $340\, ms^{-1}$)
It is found that an increase in pressure of $100\, kPa$ causes a certain volume of water to decrease by $5 × 10^{-3}$ percent of its original volume. Then the speed of sound in the water is about .... $m/s$ (density of water $10^3 \,kg/m^3$)
The distance between two consecutive crests in a wave train produced in a string is $5 cm.$ If $2$ complete waves pass through any point per second, the velocity of the wave is ..... $cm/sec$
