Problem

Two vibrating strings of the same material but lengths

L

and

2L

have radii

2r

and

r

respectively. They are stretched under the same tension. Both the strings vibrate in their fundamental nodes, the one of length

L

with frequency

v_1

and the other with frequency

v_2

. The ratio

v_1/v_2

is given by a. 2 b. 4 c. 8 d. 1
