Apparatus: Sonometer with wire, an electromagnet, slotted weights with hanger. Principle : 1) In each cycle of A.C., the sonometer string is pulled and released twice. ‘ 2) At resonance, the frequency of alternating current is equal to half of the frequency of fundamental mode of vibration of the stretched string. ee Formula: Frequency of alternating current, 1 4,/mx slope HA Where m- mass per unit length of the string. Slope - Slope of the graph of I? versus T Procedure: : j 1) Suitable mass is attached to the string and the tension T is found. 2) One pole of the electromagnet is placed close to the middle of sonometer wire. 3) The alternating current supply is switched on and the length of the vibrating portion PQ is adjusted by moving wedges such that the amplitude of the vibrating string is maximum. (By paper rider method) » 4 5 ‘The resonating length / is noted. ‘The experiment is repeated for different values of T and readings are tabulated. 6) A graph is plotted between T and l?, taking T on x-axis and [? on-y-axis. The slope of the graph is found. KSPUPTF uPuc KSPUPTF 7) Frequency of the alternating current is calculated using the formula, 1 T° ime slope Result: The frequency of alternating current, : PRECAUTION ‘After cach observation, the alternating current supply should be switched off for a few minutes KSPUPTF
