A sonometer wire of length l vibrates in fundamental mode when excited by a tuning fork of frequency 416 Hz. If the length is doubled keeping other things same, the string will

1. vibrate with a frequency of 416 Hz

2. vibrate with a frequency of 208 Hz

3. vibrate with a frequency of 832 Hz

4. stop vibrating

A sonometer wire supports a 4 kg load and vibrates in fundamental mode with a tuning fork of frequency 416 Hz. The length of the wire between the bridges is now doubled. In order to maintain fundamental mode, the load should be changed to

1. 1 kg

2. 2 kg

3. 8 kg

4. 16 kg
