14.Waves and Sound
medium

A metal wire of linear mass density of $9.8\, g/m$ is stretched with a tension of $10 kg$ weight between two rigid supports $1$ metre apart. The wire passes at its middle point between the poles of a permanent magnet, and it vibrates in resonance when carrying an alternating current of frequency $n.$ The frequency $n$ of the alternating source is ..... $Hz$

A

$25$

B

$50$

C

$100$

D

$200$

(AIEEE-2003)

Solution

(b) In condition of resonance, frequency of $a.c.$ will be equal to natural frequency of wire
$n = \frac{1}{{2l}}\sqrt {\frac{T}{m}} = \frac{1}{{2 \times 1}}\sqrt {\frac{{10 \times 9.8}}{{9.8 \times {{10}^{ – 3}}}}} = \frac{{100}}{2} = 50$$Hz$
