A sonometer wire having a length of 1 50 m between the bridges vibrates in its second harmonic in resonance with t tuning fork of frequency 256 Hz. What is the speed of the transverse wave on the wire?

Question

Philoid · Accepted Answer

Second harmonic= 2 × First Harmonic

Fundamental freq. = First Harmonic =

Now,

So the speed of the wave,

m/s
