The fundamental frequency of a sonometer wire is 50 Hz for some length and tension. If the length is increased by \(25 \%\) by keeping tension same then frequency change of second harmonic is

  1. A increased by 20%
  2. B decreased by \(20 \%\)
  3. C increased by 10%
  4. D decreased by 10%
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) decreased by \(20 \%\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( f_1 = 50 \) Hz \( L' = L + 0.25L = 1.25L \)
