The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the unit of the expression \( \frac{1}{\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}} \) where \( T \) is tension, \( \mu \) is mass per unit length, and \( l \) is length. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Units:** - The unit of tension \( T \) is Newton (N). - The unit of mass per unit length \( \mu \) is kilograms per meter (kg/m). - The unit of length \( l \) is meters (m). 2. **Convert Tension to Base Units:** - 1 Newton (N) is defined as \( 1 \, \text{N} = 1 \, \text{kg} \cdot \text{m/s}^2 \). - Therefore, the unit of tension \( T \) can be expressed as: \[ [T] = \text{kg} \cdot \text{m/s}^2 \] 3. **Express the Unit of \( \mu \):** - The unit of mass per unit length \( \mu \) is: \[ [\mu] = \text{kg/m} \] 4. **Calculate the Unit of \( \frac{T}{\mu} \):** - Now, we can find the unit of \( \frac{T}{\mu} \): \[ \frac{T}{\mu} = \frac{\text{kg} \cdot \text{m/s}^2}{\text{kg/m}} = \frac{\text{kg} \cdot \text{m/s}^2 \cdot \text{m}}{\text{kg}} = \frac{\text{m}^2}{\text{s}^2} \] 5. **Find the Unit of \( \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}} \):** - Taking the square root of \( \frac{T}{\mu} \): \[ \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}} = \sqrt{\frac{\text{m}^2}{\text{s}^2}} = \frac{\text{m}}{\text{s}} \] 6. **Calculate the Unit of \( \frac{1}{\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}} \):** - Finally, we find the unit of \( \frac{1}{\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}} \): \[ \frac{1}{\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}} = \frac{1}{\frac{\text{m}}{\text{s}}} = \frac{\text{s}}{\text{m}} \] 7. **Conclusion:** - The unit of \( \frac{1}{\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}} \) is \( \text{s/m} \), which is the same as the unit of wave number (inverse length). ### Final Answer: The unit of \( \frac{1}{\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}} \) is the same as that of \( \frac{1}{l} \) (where \( l \) is length), which is \( \text{s/m} \). ---
