Q87 / 90 · JEE Main 2022 (27 Jul Shift 2) · Physics
A wire of length , stretched between rigid supports, has it's and harmonics at and , respectively. If tension in the string is , it's linear mass density is _____ .
Correct answer: 3
Solution
Frequency of harmonic is
And frequency of harmonic is , here, is speed of wave on string.
From equation , we have
Putting in equation ,
Speed of wave on string is stated as , here, is linear mass density.
So,
Hence, the correct answer is 3.
