The ratio of frequencies of two oscillating pendulums are \(3: 2\). Their lengths are in the ratio

  1. A \(\sqrt{2}: \sqrt{3}\)
  2. B \(9: 4\)
  3. C \(\sqrt{3}: \sqrt{2}\)
  4. D \(4: 9\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(4: 9\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The frequency of oscillation is given by:
\(\mathrm{n}=\frac{1}{2 \pi} \sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{g}}{\mathrm{L}}}\)
So, Frequency \(\mathrm{n} \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{\mathrm{L}}}\)
\(\Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{n}_1}{\mathrm{n}_2}=\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{L}_2}{\mathrm{~L}_1}}\)
\(\Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{L}_1}{\mathrm{~L}_2}=\frac{\mathrm{n}_2^2}{\mathrm{n}_1^2}=\frac{4}{9}\)
