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 \(...........cm\).

  1. A \(60\)
  2. B \(59\)
  3. C \(58\)
  4. D \(57\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(60\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(f =\frac{ nv }{2 \ell}, \text { for fundamental mode } n =1\) \(f =\frac{ v }{2 \ell}\) \(f \propto \frac{1}{\ell}\) \(\frac{ f _1}{ f _2}=\frac{\ell_2}{\ell_1}\) \(\frac{120}{180}=\frac{\ell_2}{90}\) \(\ell_2=60\,cm\)
