    not travel through both the wires
  • B
    travel with the same velocity in both the wires

Two strings $A$ and $B$ of the same material are stretched by the same tension. The radius of string $A$ is double the radius of string $B$. $A$ transverse wave travels on string $A$ with speed $V_A$ and on string $B$ with speed $V_B$. The ratio $\frac{V_A}{V_B}$ is:

The linear mass density of a vibrating string is $1.3 \times 10^{-4} \ kg/m$. $A$ transverse wave is propagating on the string and is described by the equation $y = 0.021 \sin(x + 30t)$,where $x$ and $y$ are measured in meters and $t$ in seconds. The tension in the string is approximately: (in $N$)

When the area of cross-section of a stretched wire is halved and tension is doubled,the speed of propagation of transverse waves along it becomes $k$ times the initial speed. Then,$k$ is:

$A$ rope of length $L$ and uniform linear density is hanging from the ceiling. $A$ transverse wave pulse,generated close to the free end of the rope,travels upwards through the rope. Select the correct option.

$A$ copper wire is held at the two ends by rigid supports. At $50^{\circ} C$ the wire is just taut,with negligible tension. If $Y=1.2 \times 10^{11} \, N/m^2$,$\alpha=1.6 \times 10^{-5} /^{\circ} C$,and $\rho=9.2 \times 10^3 \, kg/m^3$,then the speed of transverse waves in this wire at $30^{\circ} C$ is .......... $m/s$.
