Important Questions on Standing Waves on a String
The fundamental frequency of a string stretched with a weight of $4 \mathrm{kg}$ is $256 \mathrm{Hz}$. The weight required to produce its octave is
If vibrations of a string are to be increased by a factor of two, then tension in the string must be made
When the stationary waves are formed, then
Choose the correct statement from the following options.
A wire having a linear mass density is stretched between two rigid supports with a tension of . The wire resonates at a frequency of . The next higher frequency at which the same wire resonates is . Find the length of the wire.
A stretched wire of length is set into vibrations. It is divided into three segments whose frequencies are in the ratio . Their lengths must be
A light string of length is tied at one end to a fixed support and to a heavy string at the other end as shown in the figure. The total length of the composite string between the fixed support and the pulley is . A block of mass is tied to the free end of heavy string. Mass per unit length of the strings are and and tension is . The lowest positive value of frequency such that the junction point is a node is

A string long and fixed at its ends is driven by a vibrator. The string vibrates in its third harmonic mode. The speed of the wave and its fundamental frequency is
A string is clamped at both the ends and it is vibrating in its harmonic. The equation of the stationary wave is . The length of the string is
(All quantities are in units.)
A wire of length is made by joining two wires and of same length but different radii and and made of the same material. It is vibrating at a frequency such that the joint of the two wires forms a node. If the number of antinodes in wire is and that in is then ratio is:

A granite rod of length is clamped at its middle point and is set into longitudinal vibrations. The density of granite is and its Young's modulus is . What will be the fundamental frequency of the longitudinal vibrations?
A standing wave is formed by the superposition of two waves travelling in opposite directions. The transverse displacement is given by, . What is the speed of the travelling wave moving in the positive direction? ( and are in meter and second, respectively)
Two wires and have the same radius and respective, densities and , such that . They are joined together at the point , as shown in the figure. The combination is used as a sonometer wire and kept under tension . The point is midway between the two bridges. When a stationary wave is set up in the composite wire, the joint is found to be a node. The ratio of the number of antinodes formed in to is

An object of specific gravity is hung from a thin steel wire. The fundamental frequency for transverse standing waves in the wire is . The object is immersed in water so that one half of its volume is submerged. The new fundamental frequency (in ) is:
A sonometer wire of length is made of steel. The tension in it produces an elastic strain of . What is the fundamental frequency of steel if density and elasticity of steel are and respectively?
