A string in a musical instrument is \(50 \mathrm{~cm}\) long and its fundamental frequency is \(800 \mathrm{~Hz}\). Keeping the tension applied to the string same, the change in the length to produce sound note of fundamental frequency \(1000 \mathrm{~Hz}\) will be.

  1. A \(10 \mathrm{~cm}\)
  2. B \(20 \mathrm{~cm}\)
  3. C \(60 \mathrm{~cm}\)
  4. D \(40 \mathrm{~cm}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(40 \mathrm{~cm}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For stretched string \(\mathrm{v} \propto \frac{1}{l}\)
\(\therefore \frac{\mathrm{v}_1}{\mathrm{v}_2}=\frac{l_2}{l_1} \Rightarrow l_2=\frac{800}{1000} \times 50=40 \mathrm{~cm}\)
