MCQ
The fundamental frequency of vibration of a string stretched between two rigid support is $50\,Hz$. The mass of the string is $18\,g$ and its linear mass density is $20\,g / m$. The speed of the transverse waves so produced in the string is $..........\,ms ^{-1}$
  • $90$
  • B
    $45$
  • C
    $30$
  • D
    $15$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$90$
a
Fundamental frequency $=50\,Hz$

$\frac{mass}{length}$=$\frac{20 g}{m}$

mass$=18\,g$

length of string $=\frac{18}{20} m =\frac{9}{10} m$

from diagram $\frac{\lambda}{2}=\ell$

$\Rightarrow \lambda=2 \ell=\frac{9}{5}\,m$

again speed $v=f \lambda=50 \times \frac{9}{5}=90\,m / s$
