JEE MAIN - Physics (2020 - 2nd September Morning Slot - No. 14)

Two identical strings X and Z made of same material have tension TX and TZ in them. If their fundamental frequencies are 450 Hz and 300 Hz, respectively, then the ratio TX/TZ is
2.25
0.44
1.25
1.5

Explanation

f = $${1 \over {2l}}\sqrt {{T \over \mu }} $$

For identical string $$l$$ and $$\mu $$ will be same

f $$ \propto $$ $$\sqrt T $$

$$ \therefore $$ $${{450} \over {300}} = \sqrt {{{{T_x}} \over {{T_y}}}} $$

$$ \Rightarrow $$ $${{{{T_x}} \over {{T_y}}} = {9 \over 4}}$$ = 2.25
