Two vibrating strings of the same material but lengths $L$ and $2 L$ have radii $2 r$ and $r$ respectively. They are stretched under the same tension. Both the strings vibrate in their fundamental modes, the one of length $L$ with frequency $n_{1}$ and the other with frequency $n_{2}$. The ratio n1n2 is given by

Two uniform wires of the same material are vibrating under the same tension. If the first overtone of the first wire is equal to the second overtone of the second wire and radius of the first wire is twice the radius of the second wire then the ratio of the lengths of the first wire to second wire is

A $20 \mathrm{cm}$ long string having a mass of $1.0 \mathrm{g}$ is fixed at both the ends. The tension in the string is $0.5 \mathrm{N}$. The string is set into vibrations using an external vibrator of frequency $100 \mathrm{Hz}$. Find the separation (in $\mathrm{cm}$ ) between the successive nodes on the string.
