A guitar string of length \(90\,cm\) vibrates with a fundamental frequency of \(120\,Hz.\) The length of the string producing a fundamental frequency of \(180\,Hz\) will be \(...........cm\).
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(60\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(f =\frac{ nv }{2 \ell}, \text { for fundamental mode } n =1\)
\(f =\frac{ v }{2 \ell}\)
\(f \propto \frac{1}{\ell}\)
\(\frac{ f _1}{ f _2}=\frac{\ell_2}{\ell_1}\)
\(\frac{120}{180}=\frac{\ell_2}{90}\)
\(\ell_2=60\,cm\)
