Why not? Not to be overly terse . . . because it's NOT inversely proportional to the mass per unit length. It's inversely proportional to the SQUARE ROOT of the MPUL. If the fundamental frequency of a string were inversely proportional to its MPUL, then doubling the MPUL of the string would cut the fundamental frequency in half (that is, reduce it 50 percent). But we know from observation and analysis that that is not the case. If we double the MPUL of the string, then the fundamental frequency is reduced by about 29 percent, not 50 percent. To reduce the fundamental frequency of the string by half, we would have to quadruple the MPUL of the string!
What else can I help you with?
What will happen to the loudness of a sound if the surface area of the vibrating body is decreased?
If the surface area of the vibrating body is decreased, the loudness of the sound will also decrease. This is because less energy is being transferred to the surrounding air, resulting in a quieter sound.
What is principal frequency?
The principal frequency is the frequency at which a vibrating system naturally oscillates when disturbed from its equilibrium position. It represents the system's natural tendency to vibrate at a specific rate without external influences. The principal frequency is determined by the system's properties such as mass, stiffness, and damping.
When rapidly vibrating atoms collide with slowly vibrating atoms causing a transfer of heat?
Heat
How can electron emit radio photon Really are photons emitted only by electrons jumping from higher to lower energy levels?
Electrons can emit radio photons when they undergo acceleration or deceleration, causing their energy to change and emit energy in the form of radio photons. Photons are also emitted when electrons transition between different energy levels, as in atomic or molecular systems. So, photons are not only emitted by electrons jumping between energy levels, but also by their acceleration or deceleration.
How do you measure mechanical frequency?
I assume you mean measure the frequency of vibration of a mechanical system or part. You use a stroboscope, which is a light that flashes briefly and rapidly. You shine the light on the object and adjust the frequency of the strobe by turning a dial until the object stops moving. You then read the dial to determine the frequency. there are steps you have to take to avoid synchronizing to a subharmonic of the base frequency. For example, if the object is vibrating at 100Hz (10ms), running the strobe at 50hz will also stop the motion, as it will pick up every other cycle.
What happens to frequency if string length doubles?
If the string length doubles, the frequency of the vibrating string decreases by half. This is because frequency is inversely proportional to the length of the string.
If the frequency of a vibrating object decreases how does the wavelength of the resulting wave change?
If the frequency of a vibrating object decreases, the wavelength of the resulting wave also decreases. This is because wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional according to the wave equation: wavelength = speed of wave / frequency. So, as frequency decreases, the wavelength will also decrease to maintain a constant speed of the wave.
The slower an object vibrates the longer wavelength will be?
Yes, the wavelength of a wave is inversely proportional to its frequency. As frequency decreases, the wavelength increases. Therefore, if an object is vibrating more slowly, it will produce waves with longer wavelengths.
What are the laws of vibrating strings?
Avibration in a string is a wave. Usually a vibrating string produces a sound whose frequency in most cases is constant. Therefore, since frequency characterizes the pitch, the sound produced is a constant note. Vibrating strings are the basis of any string instrument like guitar, cello, or piano. The speed of propagation of a wave in a string is proportional to the square root of the tension of the string and inversely proportional to the square root of the linear mass of the string.
If the frequency of the waves produced by a vibrating object increases how does the wavelength of the waves produced change?
The wavelength decreases. Frequency and wavelength are inversely related.
Is a string vibrating at the fundamental frequency the length of half the wavelength?
This question can't be answered as asked. A string vibrating at its fundamental frequency has nothing to do with the speed of the produced sound through air, or any other medium. Different mediums transmit sound at different speeds. The formula for wavelength is L = S/F, were L is the wavelength, S is the speed through the medium and F is the frequency. Therefore, the wavelength depends on the speed of sound through the medium and directly proportional to the speed and inversely proportional to the frequency.

If you triple thr frequency of a vibrating object what will happen to its period?
If you triple the frequency of a vibrating object, its period will decrease because period is inversely proportional to frequency. In other words, as frequency increases, the time it takes to complete one cycle (period) decreases.
How does frequency of a wave compare with the frequency of the source?
The frequency of a wave is the same as the frequency of the source that produces it. The frequency of a wave is determined by the frequency of the vibrating source that creates it, so they are directly related.
How do you change the frequency of strings?
Frequency(f)1 of vibration(or waves ) produced on the string is directly proportional to square root of tension in the string, inversely proportional to square root of linear mass density of string, inversely proportional to length of string. Changing any of one or more of these will change the frequency. A sonometer will serve as a good experimenting device. The various parameters can be changed and change in frequency can be observed. 1. Frequency here refers to natural frequency, for forced vibrations the frequency will be same as the frequency of force that produces the vibration.
What is the effect on periodic time of doubling the mass of the vibrating systems?
there is no effect of mass on time period because mass and time period are inversely proportional
If you triple the frequency of a vibrating object what will happen to its period?
There are two basic characteristics of harmonic motion: amplitude and frequency. Frequency can be looked at in a couple of ways. One is the number of cycles in a given unit of time (like cycles per second), and the other is the length of time it takes for one complete cycle of the motion, the period (like seconds per cycle). As the frequency increases, the time it takes for one cycle decreases. If there are more cycles per unit time, then it will take less time per cycle of the motion. That's an important concept. The two are inversely proportional. For a given motion, if its frequency doubles, then it takes half as long for one of the cycles to occur. The period is cut in half because the frequency had doubled. Following that logic, if the frequency of a harmonic motion is tripled, the period will be one third the period of the original motion.
