A sonometer wire gives frequency \( f_1 \) with tension \( T_1 \). If the tension is made 4 times greater, what is the new frequency? The frequency of a vibrating wire is related to the tension in the wire by the equation: \[ f \propto \sqrt{T} \] where:
\( f \) is the frequency,
\( T \) is the tension in the wire.

If the tension is increased by a factor of 4, how does the frequency change?

A magnetic field is produced along the axis of a current-carrying loop. The direction and magnitude of the magnetic field at the center of the loop can be determined using the Biot-Savart law. What will be the direction of the magnetic field along the axis of the current loop? The magnetic field produced along the axis of a circular current loop is given by the equation: \[ B = \frac{{\mu_0 I R^2}}{{2 (R^2 + x^2)^{3/2}}} \]
where:
\( B \) is the magnetic field,
\( \mu_0 \) is the permeability of free space,
\( I \) is the current,
\( R \) is the radius of the loop,
\( x \) is the distance from the center of the loop along the axis.

A beam of unpolarized light is incident on a polarizer. The intensity of the transmitted light is measured as it passes through the polarizer. If the angle between the light's initial direction and the axis of the polarizer is \( \theta \), what is the intensity of the transmitted light? The intensity of the transmitted light is given by Malus' law: \[ I = I_0 \cos^2 \theta \]
