Question : 16 of 73

Marks: +1, -0

State two ways by which the frequency of transverse vibrations of a stretched string can be increased.

Solution:

The frequency of transverse vibrations of a streached string is inversely proportional to the length of the string i.e., frequency can be increased by decreasing the length of the string.

\;\text " Frequency of string "\; ∝ \;{1}/{\;\text " length of the string "\;}

(ii) The frequency of transverse vibrations of a stretched string is inversely proportional to the radius of the string (i.e., frequency can be increased by decreasing the radius of the string).
