Q38 of 97 Page 323

A sonometer wire having a length of 150 m between the bridges vibrates in its second harmonic in resonance with t tuning fork of frequency 256 Hz. What is the speed of the transverse wave on the wire?

Second harmonic= 2 × First Harmonic


Fundamental freq. = First Harmonic =


Now,




So the speed of the wave,


m/s
