Explain the difference between the speed of a transverse wave travelling down a cord and the speed of a tiny piece of the cord.

A transverse wave is travelling on a string. The equation of the wave

The main difference between longitudinal and transverse waves in that

The speed of transverse wave on a stretched string is

Explain the terms crest and trough in relation to a transverse wave.

A string of length 2L, obeying hooke's law, is stretched so that its extension is L. the speed of the transverse wave travelling on the string is v. If the string is further stretched so that the extension in the string becomes 4L. The speed of transverse wave travelling on the string will be

A transverse wave travels along x-axis . The particles of medium move

Explain how is velocity different from speed.

A transverse wave travels along the Z-axis. The particles of the medium must move

Which of the following equations represent a transverse wave travelling along- y axis ?

A string of length 2L, obeying Hooke's Law, is stretched so that its extension is L. The speed of the tranverse wave travelling on the string is v. if the string is futher stretched so that the extension in the string becomes 4L. The speed of transverse wave travelling on the string will be
