Question

what will be the effect on the speed of transverse waves on a string if the tension in the string remain constant but the diameter of the string becomes double​

Answer 1

Answer:

Becomes half

Explanation:

As v=sqrt(T/d),

Where T is tension and d is linear density of the string

Also,d=m/l(mass per unit length)

And mass is directly proportional to Area which is directly proportional to square of diameter

Thus,doubling diameter quadruples the linear density.

As v=1/sqrt(d),

The speed will be cut in half by doubling diameter.
