    The frequency of transverse vibration in a stretched string is 200 Hz. If the tension is increased four times and the length is reduced to one-fourth, the original values, the frequency of vibrations will be:

    A)  25 Hz                                   

    B)  200 Hz

    C)  400 Hz                                 

    D)  1600 Hz

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                     The frequency of transverse vibration in a stretched string is given by \[n=\frac{1}{2l}\sqrt{\frac{T}{m}}\] \[n\propto \frac{1}{l}\sqrt{T}\]                 Hence,  \[\frac{{{n}_{2}}}{{{n}_{1}}}=\frac{{{l}_{1}}}{{{l}_{2}}}\sqrt{\frac{{{T}_{2}}}{{{T}_{1}}}}\]  (Given: \[{{l}_{2}}=\frac{{{l}_{1}}}{4},{{T}_{2}}=4{{T}_{1}},{{n}_{1}}=200\,Hz\]) \[\frac{{{n}_{2}}}{{{n}_{1}}}=\frac{{{l}_{1}}}{\frac{{{l}_{1}}}{4}}\sqrt{\frac{4{{T}_{1}}}{{{T}_{1}}}}\] \[\frac{{{n}_{2}}}{{{n}_{1}}}=4\times 2=8\] \[{{n}_{2}}=8\times 200=1600\,Hz\]
