In case of a transverses wave in a string

Introduction, Transverse wave on string

The velocity of transverse wave in a stretched string is proportional to

The velocity of transverse wave in a string is v = sqrt( T//m) where T is the tension in the string and m is the mass per unit length . If T = 3.0 kgf , the mass of string is v = 1.000 m , then the percentage error in the measurement of velocity is

The speed of transverse wave on a stretched string is

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

Statement-1: Waves on a string are always transverse in nature. ltBrgt Statement-2: The velocity of a transverse wave propagating along a string is independent of the frequency of the propagating wave.

Assertion : Two strins shown in figure have the same tension. Speed of transverse waves in string -1 will be more. Reason : v prop (1)/sqrt(mu) ,Here mu is mass per unit length of string.

If the equation for the transverse wave in a string is given by y=5 sin 2 pi(t/(0.02)-x/50) with lengths expressed in cm and time period in seconds, calculate the wave velocity and maximum particle velocity.
