    This is a short answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar

    Wire of twice the length vibrates in its second harmonic . thus, if the tuning fork resonates at L, it will resonate at 2L

    So the sonometer frequency is

    v = n 2 l T m

    Now if it vibrates with length L we assume v = v 1

    n=n1

    v = n 2 L T m

    When length is doubled then

    v 2 = n 1 2 × 2 L T m

    Dividing above equations

    v 1 v 2 = n 1 n 2 × 2

    To Keep the resonance v 1 v 2 = 1 = n 1 n 2 × 2

    n2=2n1 so it resonates 2nd harmonic.
