In S.H.M. a simple pendulum oscillates with frequency \(f\). If the length of the pendulum is increased by three times its original length, then the frequency of oscillation of the pendulum will be

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{f}{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(T \propto \sqrt{l}\) or \(f \propto 1 / \sqrt{l}\)
If the length is increased by three times the original length, then the new length is four times the original length.
\(\frac{f_1}{f}=\sqrt{\frac{l}{4 l}}=\frac{1}{2}\)
