Answer
inversely proportional to its length but directly proportional to the square root of the tension of the wire.
Reason— The frequency f of a stretched string is given by:
Where:
- L is the length of the string,
- T is the tension,
- is the linear mass density
Therefore, frequency of a stretched string is inversely proportional to its length but directly proportional to the square root of the tension of the wire.
