Question

Which of the following statement is CORRECT?

The frequency of a stretched string is:

Options

• directly proportional to its length but inversely proportional to the tension of the wire.

• inversely proportional to its length but directly proportional to the tension of the wire.

• directly proportional to the square root of its length but inversely proportional to the tension of the wire.

• inversely proportional to its length but directly proportional to the square root of the tension of the wire.

Answer 1

Inversely proportional to its length but directly proportional to the square root of the tension of the wire.

Explanation:

For a stretched string, frequency is inversely proportional to its length and directly proportional to the square root of its tension. The other options give incorrect relationships.
