Two uniform strings \(A\) and \(B\) made of steel are made to vibrate under the same tension. If the first overtone of \(A\) is equal to the second overtone of \(B\) and if the radius of \(A\) is twice that of \(B\), the ratio of the lengths of the strings is :

  1. A \(1: 2\)
  2. B \(1: 3\)
  3. C \(1: 4\)
  4. D \(1: 5\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(1: 3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Fundamental frequency of string, \(n=\frac{1}{2 l} \sqrt{\frac{T}{m}}\) where, \(m=\) mass per unit length of the string \(=\pi r^2 \rho\) \(\therefore \quad n=\frac{1}{2 l} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\pi r^2 \rho}}\) For string \(A\) first overtone,…
