A sonometer wire of length \(l\) vibrates in fundamental mode when excited by a tuning fork of frequency \(416~\text{Hz}\). If the length is doubled keeping other things the same, the string will be: 
1. vibrate with a frequency of \(416~\text{Hz}\)
2. vibrate with a frequency of \(208~\text{Hz}\)
3. vibrate with a frequency of \(832~\text{Hz}\)
4. stop vibrating

A sonometer wire supports a \(4~\text{kg}\) load and vibrates in fundamental mode with a tuning fork of frequency \(416~\text{Hz}.\) The length of the wire between the bridges is now doubled. In order to maintain fundamental mode, the load should be changed to:
1. \(1~\text{kg}\)
2. \(2~\text{kg}\)
3. \(8~\text{kg}\)
4. \(16~\text{kg}\)

A mechanical wave propagates in a medium along the \(\mathrm{X}\)-axis. The particles of the medium:

(a) must move on the \(\mathrm{X}\)-axis
(b) must move on the \(\mathrm{Y}\)-axis
(c) may move on the \(\mathrm{X}\)-axis
(d) may move on the \(\mathrm{Y}\)-axis

Choose the correct option from the given ones:

1. (a) and (b) only
2. (b) and (c) only
3. (c) and (d) only
4. (a), (b), (c) and (d)
