A transverse wave is propagating along a string of length l. when string elongated by l/20 cm, velocity of wave is v. what will be its velocity when it is elongatd by l/10 ?

A

2v

B

v

C

`2sqrt(2)v`

D

`sqrt(2)v`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

`V_2/V_1 = sqrt(x_2/x_1) = sqrt(l/10xx20/l)`
`V_2 = sqrt2 V` .
