Two identical strings $X$ and $Z$ made of same material have tension $T _{ x }$ and $T _{ z }$ in them. If their fundamental frequencies are $450\, Hz$ and $300\, Hz ,$ respectively, then the ratio $T _{ x } / T _{ z }$ is$.....$

$f =\frac{1}{2 \ell} \sqrt{\frac{ T }{\mu}}$

For identical string $l$ and $\mu$ will be same

$f \propto \sqrt{ T }$

$\frac{450}{300}=\sqrt{\frac{T_{x}}{T_{y}}}$

$\frac{T_{x}}{T_{y}}=\frac{9}{4}=2.25$

    A composition string is made up by joining two strings of different masses per unit length $\rightarrow \mu$ and $4\mu$ . The composite string is under the same tension. A transverse wave pulse $: Y = (6 mm) \,\,sin\,\,(5t + 40x),$ where $‘t’$ is in seconds and $‘x’$ in meters, is sent along the lighter string towards the joint. The joint is at $x = 0$.
