A transverse wave of amplitude 050 mm and frequency 100 Hz is produced on a wire stretched to a tension of 100 N. If the wave speed is 100 m s−1, what average power is the source transmitting to the wire?
By the given data, we can interpret that,

![]()
We know that average power of the source is determined by,
![]()
Here, we got m and v, a, f is given. Putting the values, we obtain the answer to be 49 mW.
