    Two stretched strings have lengths l and 2l while tensions are T and 4T respectively. If they are made of same material the ratio of their frequencies is                     

    A) 2 : 1                                       

    B) 1 : 2         

    C) 1 : 1                                       

    D) 1 : 4        

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Frequency is given by \[v=\frac{1}{2l}\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu }}\] \[\therefore \] First frequency, \[{{v}_{1}}=\frac{l}{2l}\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu }}\] and second frequency, \[{{v}_{2}}=\frac{1}{4l}\sqrt{\frac{4T}{\mu }}\] \[\therefore \]Hence, the ratio of frequencies \[\frac{{{v}_{1}}}{{{v}_{2}}}=1:1\]
