There are two strings of same material same diameter and length l and 2l stretched under same tension . If the strings are plucked and released, velocities of transverse waves on the two strings will be in the ratio

A

`1:2`

B

`2:1`

C

`1:sqrt2`

D

`1:1`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`v_1= sqrt(T/m) " and " v_2=sqrt(T/m)`
`therefore v_1/v_2 = 1/1`
Since velocity is independent of length of the wire
