In Melde's experiment in the transverse mode, the frequency of the tuning fork and the frequency of the waves in the string are in the ratio

  1. A \(1: 1\)
  2. B \(1: 2\)
  3. C \(2: 1\)
  4. D \(4: 1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(1: 1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In Melde's experiment, the variation in frequency is created if the tension is increased in the string. Melde's showed that mechanical waves also undergo phenomenon of interference. To do this a resonance in tuning fork and frequency of standing waves was developed. Hence, the…
