The experiment investigates the relationship between frequency, length, and tension of a vibrating string using a sonometer and tuning forks. It establishes that frequency is inversely proportional to length and directly related to tension, confirmed through graphical analysis. The results validate the law of transverse vibrations of strings, demonstrating that frequency and length maintain a constant ratio.

THEORY
(string) vibrates in resonance with a tuning fork of frequency v, then
the string also has same frequency v.
If the string has a length /, diameter D, material of density p and tension T, then
