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

Transverse wave travels through

The speed of transverse wave on a stretched string is

The speed of a transverse wave (v) along a stretched string is given by

Derive an expression for the speed of transverse waves on a stretched string.

Transverse waves cannot travel through

A steel wire has a length os 12.0m and a mass of 2.10 kg. What should be the tension in the wire at 20^(@)C so that speed of transverse wave on the wire equals the speed of transverse wave on the wire equals the speed of sound in dry air at this temperature which is 330ms^(-1) ?

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

A wire is stretched between two posts. Another wire is stretched between two posts that are twice as far apart. The tension in the wires is the same, and they have the same mass. A transverse wave travels on the shorter wire with a speed of 240m/s. What would be the speed of the wave on the longer wire?
