Answer

(a) As we know,

frequency (f) = 12lTπr2d\dfrac{1}{2l} \sqrt\dfrac{T}{πr^2d}

Hence, the frequency of sound given by a stretched string is inversely proportional to the length of the string.

f ∝ 1l\dfrac{1}{l}

(b) The frequency of sound given by a stretched string is directly proportional to the square root of the tension in the string.

f ∝ T\sqrt T
