MCQ
A string is stretched between fixed points separated by $75.0\, cm$. It is observed to have resonant frequencies of $420\, Hz$ and $315\, Hz$. There are no other resonant frequencies between these two. Then, the lowest resonant frequency for this string is .... $Hz$
  • $105$
  • B
    $1.05$
  • C
    $1050$
  • D
    $10.5$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$105$
a
Given $\frac{\mathrm{nv}}{2 \ell}=315$ and $(\mathrm{n}+1) \frac{\mathrm{v}}{2 \ell}=420$

$\Rightarrow \frac{n+1}{n}=\frac{420}{315} \Rightarrow n=3$

Hence $3 \times \frac{\mathrm{v}}{2 \ell}=315 \Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{v}}{2 \ell}=105 \mathrm{Hz}$

The lowest resonant frequency is when

$\mathrm{n}=1$

Therefore lowest resonant frequency

$=105 \mathrm{Hz}$
