COMEDK · Physics · 16. Waves and Sound
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
- A \(1: 1\)
- B \(1: 2\)
- C \(2: 1\)
- D \(4: 1\)
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…
