Two strings 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 `v_A` and on B with speed `v_B`. The ratio `v_A/v_B` is

A

`1//2`

B

`2`

C

`1//4`

D

`4`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`(v_(A))/(v_(B)) = (D_(B))/(D_(A)) = (1)/(2)`
