प्रश्न
A string stretched between its ends is made to vibrate by placing the stem of a vibrating tuning fork at its one end. State three ways how you will increase the frequency of note produced by the string.
उत्तर
(i) By decreasing the vibrating length of the string,
(ii) By increasing the tension on the string,
(iii) By decreasing the radius of the string.
