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 υ A and on B with speed υ B . The ratio υ A / υ B is

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 υ_A and on B with speed υ_B. The ratio υ_A/υ_B is

Where,

Hence for the string,

Therefore we can say, is inversely proportional to

And since , we get
