In a sonometer experiment, the bridges are separated by a fixed distance. The wire which may be slightly elastic emits a tone of frequency 
when held by tension 
tension is increased to 
, the tone emitted by the wire will be of frequency.
A
B
C
slightly greater than 
D
slightly less than 
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
As the wire is slightly elastic, on increasing tension, the wire is stretched, so mass per unit length is reduced.
