Question

A tuning fork of frequency 512 Hz is used to produce vibrations in a sonometer wire of natural frequency 256 Hz. The wire will vibrate in (A) one segment (B) two segments (C) four segments (D) three segments

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

As the wire is forced to have a frequency =512=2 × 256=2 n, therefore, it must vibrate in two segments.

Q. A tuning fork of frequency $512 Hz$ is used to produce vibrations in a sonometer wire of natural frequency $256 Hz$ . The wire will vibrate in

one segment

two segments

four segments

three segments

As the wire is forced to have a frequency $= 512 = 2 \times 256 = 2 n$ , therefore, it must vibrate in two segments.
