Statement I: two waves moving in a uniform string having uniform tension cannot have different velocities.
Elastic and inertial properties of string are same for all waves in same string. Moreover speed of wave in a string depends on its elastic and inertial properties only.

A

Statement I is true, statement II is true and statement II is the correct explaination for statement I.

B

Statement I is true, statement II is true and statement II is NOT the correct explaination for statement I.

C

Statement I is true, statement II is false.

D

Statement I is false, statement II is true.

Text Solution
