  • question_answer
    Two wires  and  have the same radius r and respective densities  and  such that  They are joined together at the point O, as shown in the figure. The combination is used as a sonometer wire and kept under tension T. The point O is midway between the two bridges. When a stationary waves is set up in the composite wire, the joint is found to be a node. The ratio of the number of antinodes formed in to  is –

    A)  4 : 1                            

    B)  1 : 2

    C)  1 : 1                            

    D)  1 : 3

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] \[{{n}_{1}}={{n}_{2}}\]
    \[T\to \]same
    \[r\to \]same
    \[l\to \]same
    \[n=\frac{p}{2l}\sqrt{\frac{T}{\pi {{r}^{2}}d}}\]
    \[{{n}_{1}}={{n}_{2}}\]
    \[\frac{{{p}_{1}}}{\sqrt{{{d}_{1}}}}=\frac{{{p}_{2}}}{\sqrt{{{d}_{2}}}}\]
    \[\frac{{{p}_{1}}}{{{p}_{2}}}=\frac{1}{2}\]
