  1. Question 1

    Q1. A string under tension produces a note of frequency 300 Hz. If the tension is doubled, what will be the new frequency?

    • A) 300 Hz
    • B) 400 Hz
    • C) 424 Hz
    • D) 600 Hz

    Answer: 424 Hz

    Explanation: Frequency is proportional to sqrt(tension). New frequency = 300 Hz * sqrt(2) = 424 Hz. Option B is incorrect as it doesn't correctly apply the proportionality.
