The diagram above shows the wire of a sonometer box set into resonance by a vibrating tuning fork of frequency f, when the wire is stretched by a tension T, the resonating length of the wire is I while the wavelength of the sound produced is \(\lambda\). Which of the following statements about the frequency of vibration of the wire is not correct?
A
proportional to the mass per unit length of the wire
B
equal to the frequency of the tuning fork
C
inversely proportional to the length of the wire
D
proportional to the sqare root of the tension
correct option: a
