उत्तर १
Free vibrations are produced when a body is disturbed from its equilibrium position and released.
उत्तर २
The vibrations of a body in the absence of any external force on it are called free/natural vibrations.
For example, when we strike the keys of a piano, various strings are set into vibration at their natural frequencies.

On What factors does the natural frequency of vibration of a body depend?
- Name one factor on which the frequency of sound emitted due to vibrations in an air column depends.
- How does the frequency depend on the factor stated in part (a).

Explain why strings of different thicknesses are provided on a stringed instrument.
[Hint: Natural frequency of vibration of a stretched string is inversely proportional to the radius (or thickness) of string so notes of different frequencies can be produces by vibrating different strings.]
