Two wires of different densities but same area of cross section are soldered together at one end and are stretched to a tension T. The velocity of a transverse wave in the first wire is double of that in the second wire. Find the ration of the denstiy of the first wire to that of the second wire.

Answer

0.25

Explanation

Given that
`v_(1) = 2v_(2)`
`sqrt((T)/(P_(1)S)) = 2sqrt((T)/(P_(2)S))`
`(P_(1))/(P_(2)) = (1)/(4) = 0.25`
