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$.....$

A

$0.44$

B

$1.5$

C

$2.25$

D

$1.25$

(JEE MAIN-2020)

Solution

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

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

$f \propto \sqrt{ T }$

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

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