Discuss the laws of transverse vibration in stretched strings.

Answer»

Solution :Laws of transverse vibrations in stretched strings: There are three laws of transverse vibrations of stretched strings which are given as follows:
(i) The law of LENGTH: For a given wire with TENSION T (which is fixed) and mass per unit length `mu` (fixed) the frequency varies inversely with the vibrating length. Therefore,
`f prop (1)/(L) IMPLIES f = (C)/(l)`
`implies "" l xx f = C ` where C is a constant
The law of tension: For a given vibrating length l (fixed) and mass per unit length `mu`(fixed) the frequency varies directly with the square root of the tension T,
`f prop sqrtT`
`implies "" f = A sqrtT` , where A is constant
(iii)The law of mass: For a given vibrating length/ (fixed) and tension T (fixed) the frequency varies inversely with the square root of the mass per unit length `mu` ,
`f prop (1)/(sqrtmu)`
`implies "" f = (B)/(sqrtmu)` , where B is a constant
