Two identical strings \(X\) and \(Z\) made of same material have tension \(T _{ x }\) and \(T _{ z }\) in them. If their fundamental frequencies are \(450\, Hz\) and \(300\, Hz ,\) respectively, then the ratio \(T _{ x } / T _{ z }\) is\(.....\)

Pick an option to check your answer.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(2.25\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(f =\frac{1}{2 \ell} \sqrt{\frac{ T }{\mu}}\)

For identical string \(l\) and \(\mu\) will be same

\(f \propto \sqrt{ T }\)

\(\frac{450}{300}=\sqrt{\frac{T_{x}}{T_{y}}}\)

\(\frac{T_{x}}{T_{y}}=\frac{9}{4}=2.25\)
