hey! here is your answer!
question: the speed (v) of transverse wave in stretched string is 348m/s , when the tension (T) of the string is 3.6kg-wt. calculate the speed of the transverse wave in the same string .if the tension of the string is changed to 4.9kg-wt.
answer: OK, take a deaf breathe and realax, and understand the answer carefully
Speed of a transverse wave in a stretched string
Consider a stretched string and if given transverse disturbance on one end then the disturbance travels throughout the string.
Thereby giving rise to transverse waves.
The particles move up and down and the waves travel perpendicular to the oscillation of the particles.
Transverse wave speed determined by:
Mass per unit length- As mass gives rise to Kinetic energy.If no mass then no kinetic energy.Then there will be no velocity.
It is denoted by μ.
Tension-Tension is the key factor which makes the disturbance propagates along the string.
Because of tension the disturbance travels throughout the wave.
It is denoted by T.
