JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 13. oscillations

The frequency of oscillation of a mass \(m\) suspended by a spring is \(v_1\). If the length of the spring is cut to half, the same mass oscillates with frequency \(v_2\). The value of \(v_2/v_1\) is ________.

  1. A \(1\)
  2. B \(2\)
  3. C \(\sqrt{2}\)
  4. D \(\sqrt{3}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\sqrt{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The frequency of oscillation of a spring-mass system is given by \(v = \dfrac{1}{2\pi} \sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}\), where \(k\) is the spring constant and \(m\) is the mass. The spring constant \(k\) is inversely proportional to the length of the spring \(L\), so…
