Light of frequency 6.0 x 10¹⁴ Hz travelling in air is transmitted through glass or refractive index 1.5. Calculate the frequency of the light in the glass

4.0 x 10¹⁴Hz

6.0 x 10¹⁴Hz

7.5 x 10¹⁴Hz

9.0 x 10¹⁴Hz

View answer & explanation

Correct answer is A

1.5 = $\frac{6 \times 10^{14}}{F}$

F = 4 x 10¹⁴Hz

The note produced by a stretched string has a fundamental frequency of 400Hz. If the length of the string is doubled while the tension in the string is increased by a factor of 4, the frequency is

200Hz

400Hz

800Hz

1600Hz

View answer & explanation

Correct answer is B

F = $\frac {1}{2L}$ $\sqrt\frac{T}{m}$

T₂ = 4T₁ ; L₂ = 2L₁

$\frac{2F_1L_1}{2F_2L_2}$ = $\sqrt\frac{T_1}{T_2}$

$\frac{400\times L_1}{F \times L_1}$ = $\sqrt\frac{T_1}{4T_1}$

F = 400Hz
