The speed of a transverse wave on stretc...

The speed of a transverse wave on stretched sting is 500 m/s when the tension is 2 kg wt, then the velocity of transverse waves in the same string when the tension is changed to 8 kg wt is

A

1000 m/s

B

250 m/s

C

500 m/s

D

125 m/s

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

`v_2/v_1 = sqrt(T_2/T_1) = sqrt(8/2) = sqrt4=2`
`v_2 = 2v_1`
`=2xx500=1000` m/s
