14.Waves and Sound
medium

In order to double the frequency of the fundamental note emitted by a stretched string, the length is reduced to $\frac{3}{4}$$^{th}$ of the original length and the tension is changed. The factor by which the tension is to be changed, is

A

$0.37$

B

$0.67$

C

$0.89$

D

$2.25$

Solution

(d) $n = \frac{1}{{2l}}\sqrt {\frac{T}{m}} \Rightarrow n \propto \frac{{\sqrt T }}{l}$
==> $\frac{{{T_2}}}{{{T_1}}} = {\left( {\frac{{{n_2}}}{{{n_1}}}} \right)^2}{\left( {\frac{{{l_2}}}{{{l_1}}}} \right)^2} = {(2)^2}{\left( {\frac{3}{4}} \right)^2} = \frac{9}{4}$
