To find the speed of transverse waves in the wire used in the sonometer experiment, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between speed, tension, and mass per unit length The speed \( v \) of transverse waves in a wire is given by the formula: \[ v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}} \] where \( T \) is the tension in the wire and \( \mu \) is the mass per unit length of the wire. ...
