Q7 of 97 Page 322

Two string A and B, made of same material, are stretched by same tension. The radius of string A is double of the radius of B. A transverse wave travels on A with speed υA and on B with speed υB. The ratio υA/υB is


Where,



Hence for the string,



Therefore we can say, is inversely proportional to


And since , we get
