The speed of transverse waves in a wire of length L , density `rho`, cross - sectional area A and stretched with a tension T is given by

A

`sqrt((TL)/(rho A)) `

B

`sqrt(T/(Arho)) `

C

`sqrt(T/(rhoL)) `

D

`sqrt((T rho)/(AL) )`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`v = sqrt(T/m) = sqrt(T/(pi r^(2) rho)) = sqrt(T/(Arho)) `
