AP EAMCET · PHYSICS · Waves and Sound

An object of density \(2000 \mathrm{~kg}-\mathrm{m}^{-3}\) is hung from a thin light wire. The fundamental frequency of the transverse waves in the wire is \(200 \mathrm{~Hz}\). If the object is immersed in water such that half of its volume is submerged, then the fundamental frequency of the transverse waves in the wire is

  1. A 200 Hz
  2. B 173.2 Hz
  3. C 100 Hz
  4. D 141.4 Hz
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 173.2 Hz

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Fundamental frequency, initially \[ n_1=\frac{1}{2 l} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}=\frac{1}{2 l} \sqrt{\frac{V g(2000)}{\mu}} \] Fundamental frequency, finally \[ n_2=\frac{1}{2 l} \sqrt{\frac{V g\left(2000-\frac{1000}{2}\right)}{\mu}} \] (here we applied loss of weight due to upthrust)…
