A string is stretched so that its length is increased by $\frac{1}{\eta }$ of its original length. The ratio of fundamental frequency of transverse vibration to that of fundamental frequency of longitudinal vibration will be

  • A

    $\eta :1$

  • B

    $1:\eta $

  • C

    $\sqrt \eta  :1$

  • D

    $1:\sqrt \eta  $
