A string is under tension so that its length is increased by $1/n$ times its original length. The ratio of fundamental frequency of longitudinal vibrations and transverse vibrations will be
Motion that moves to and fro in regular time intervals is called _________________ motion.
When we hear a sound, we can identify its source from :
The vibrations produced by the body after it is into vibration is called ....................
The length of a stretched string is $2 m$. The tension in it and its mass are $10 N$ and $0.80 kg$ respectively. Arrange the following steps in a sequence to find the third harmonic of transverse wave that can be created in the string.
(a) Find the linear mass density ($m$) using the formula, $m$ $\displaystyle = \dfrac{mass (M) of \ the \ string}{length (l) of \ the \ string}$
(b) Collect the data from the problem and find the length($l$) tenstion ($T$) and mass ($M$) of the stretched string.
(c) The fundamental frequency of a stretched vibrating string is given by $n$ $=\displaystyle \dfrac{1}{2l} \sqrt{\dfrac{T}{m}}$
(d) The frequency of $2^{nd}$ overtone or $3^{rd}$ harmonic is given by $n _2\displaystyle = \dfrac{3}{2l}\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{m}}=3n$.
All overtones are stationary wave.

The speed of mechanical waves depends on :-
A suspension bridge is to be built across valley where it is known that the wind can gust at $5\ s$ intervals. It is estimated that the speed of transverse waves along the span of the bridge would be $400\ m/s$. The danger of reasonant motions in the bridge at its fundamental frequency would be greater if the span had a length of :
A man generates a symmetrical pulse in a string by moving his hand up and down . At t = 0 the point in his hand moves downward. the pulse travels with speed of 3 m/s on the string & his hands passes 6 times in each second from the mean position. then the point on the string at a distance 3m will reach its upper extreme first time at times t =
String 1 has twice the length, twice the radius, twice the tension and twice the density of another string 2. The relation between their fundamental frequencies of 1 and 2 is:
In a reasonance tube experiment, a closed organ pipe of lenght $120$ cm is used. initially it is completely fiiled with water. It is vibrated with tuning fork of frequency $340$ Hz. To achieve reasonance the water level is lowered then (given ${V _{air}} = 340m/\sec $., neglect end correction):
