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

A.

4.0 x 1014Hz

B.

6.0 x 1014Hz

C.

7.5 x 1014Hz

D.

9.0 x 1014Hz

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

A.

200Hz

B.

400Hz

C.

800Hz

D.

1600Hz

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
