Question

A tuning fork produces waves in a medium. If the temperature of the medium change, one of the following will change: (A) amplitude (B) frequency (C) wavelength (D) time period

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

If temperature of medium changes the velocity changes, also from v=nλ thus, it is also true as v=( (E/ρ ) )1/2. Both E and ρ decrease but decrease ofE is much larges. Frequency does not change on changing the temperature, hence wave length changes.

If temperature of medium changes the velocity changes, also from $v = nλ$ thus, it is also true as $v = (\frac{E}{ρ})^{1/2} .$ Both E and $ρ$ decrease but decrease ofE is much larges. Frequency does not change on changing the temperature, hence wave length changes.
