A
fo/2
B
2fo
C
fo/√2
D
fo√2

Correct Option: D
For a vibrating sonometer wire, the frequency
F = l/2l √(T/m)
and if the length, l and mass per unit length, m, are constant, then Fo ∝ √T => FoK√T or Fo/√T = K
=> F1o/√F1 = F2o/√F2
∴ F1o/√T1 = F2o/√T2
=
∴F2 = Fo x √2 = Fox√2
F = l/2l √(T/m)
and if the length, l and mass per unit length, m, are constant, then Fo ∝ √T => FoK√T or Fo/√T = K
=> F1o/√F1 = F2o/√F2
∴ F1o/√T1 = F2o/√T2
| thus F2 = | F3x√(2T1 |
| __√T1 |
=
| = | Fox√2 x √T1 |
| √T1 |
∴F2 = Fo x √2 = Fox√2
