A man can hear sounds in frequency range $120\,Hz$ to $12020\,Hz$. only. He is vibrating a piano string having a tension of $240\,N$ and mass of $3\,gm$ . The string has a length of $8\,m$ . How many different frequencies can he hear ?

A

$240$

B

$238$

C

$50$

D

$242$

Solution

$\mathrm{f}=\frac{\mathrm{n}}{2 \mathrm{L}} \sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{T}}{\mu}}$

$\mathrm{f}=\frac{\mathrm{n}}{2 \times 8} \sqrt{\frac{240}{3 \times 10^{-3}} \times 8}=\frac{\mathrm{n} \times 8 \times 10^{2}}{2 \times 8}=50 \mathrm{\,n}$

$\mathrm{n}=3$ to $240 \Rightarrow 238$ frequencies
