A person vibrates the end of a string sending transverse waves down the string. If the person then doubles the frequency at which he vibrates the string, the speed of the waves

A

doubles and the wavelength doubled

B

doubles while the wavelength is halved

C

is unchanged while the wavelength is doubled

D

is unchanged while the wavelength is halved.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The wave speed depends on factors on factors of tension in the string and its composition. Hence, since the wave speed is unchanged, with an increased frequency, there is a decreased wavelength `(v=flambda)`
