Vibration of a String
Fundamental frequency
L = Length of string, T = Tension in the string
m = Mass per unit length (linear density), p = mode of vibration
Important Points
(1) As a string has many natural frequencies, so when it is excited with a tuning fork, the string will be in resonance with the given body if any of its natural frequencies concides with the body.
(2) (i)
(3) If M is the mass of the string of length L,
where m = pr2r (r = Radius, r = Density)
