When the wave relationship is applied to a stretched string, it is seen that resonant standing wave modes are produced. So, if we double the tension the speed will increase 1.41 times or root (2) times.

Answer:
The tension will increase by four times.
Explanation:
- The qualities of the medium affect a wave's speed.
- The wave speed of a stretched string depends on the tension in the string, the mass of the string and the length of the string.
- The speed of a wave is directly proportional to the square root of the Tension in the string
- v = √T/μ
- v is the speed of the wave, T is the tension in the string and μ is the mass per unit length of the string
- T/μ = v^2
- Tension is directly proportional to the square of the wave speed
- Therefore, if the wave speed is doubled, the tension will become quadrupled.
The tension in the string will increase by 4 times.
