If vibrations of a string are to be increased by a factor of two, then tension in the string must be made
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
The frequency of vibration of a string is given by 
where l is length, T the tension and m the mass per unit length.
Given, 
Hence, to increase n by a factor of 2 tension must increase four times.
