    Four wires of identical length, diameters and of the same material are stretched on a sonometre wire. If the ratio of their tensions is 1 : 4 : 9 : 16 then the ratio of their fundamental frequencies are:

    A)  16 : 9 : 4 : 1

    B)  4 : 3 : 2 : 1

    C)  1 : 4 : 2 : 16

    D)  1 : 2 : 3 : 4

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     Ratio of tensions of stretched wires \[{{T}_{1}}:{{T}_{2}}:{{T}_{3}}{{T}_{4}}=1:4:9:16\] The relation for fundamental frequency of stretched wire is given by \[{{v}_{1}}=\frac{1}{2l}\sqrt{\frac{T}{m}}\propto T\] Hence,   ratio   of   fundamental frequencies of wires is given \[{{v}_{1}}:{{v}_{2}}:{{v}_{3}}:{{v}_{4}}=\sqrt{{{T}_{1}}}:\sqrt{{{T}_{2}}}:\sqrt{{{T}_{3}}}:\sqrt{{{T}_{4}}}\]         \[=\sqrt{1}:\sqrt{2}:\sqrt{9}:\sqrt{16}\]          \[=1:2:3:4\]
