The speed of transverse wave on a stretched string is

A

directly proportional to the tension in the string

B

directly proportional to the square root of the tension

C

inversely proportional to live

D

inversely proportional to square of tension

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Speed of transverse wave on stretched string is `v=sqrt(T/mu)` where T is the tension of the string and `mu` is the mass per unit lengthof the string.
