Question 1
15 Apr 2026 S1
123A sonometer wire resonates with antinodes between the two bridges for a given tuning fork when kg mass is suspended from the wire. Using same fork, when mass M is suspended, the wire resonates producing antinodes between the two bridges. (Distance between the bridges as before) The value of M isTap an option to check your answer.
Question 2
12 May 2026 S2
124A sonometer wire resonates with a given tuning fork forming standing wave with antinodes between two bridges when mass of kg is suspended from the wire. When mass is suspended from the wire with same fork and same length between two bridges, antinodes are formed. Mass isTap an option to check your answer.
Question 3
19 May 2026 S2
122A sonometer wire resonates with a given tuning fork, forming standing waves with five antinodes between the two bridges, when a mass of kg is suspended from the wire. When this mass is replaced by mass , the wire resonates with the same tuning fork, forming three antinodes for the same positions of the bridges. The value of (in kg) isTap an option to check your answer.
