Question

Two strings with circular cross section and made of same material, are stretched to have same amount of tension. A transverse wave is then made to pass through both the strings. The velocity of the wave in the first string having the radius of cross section R is $v_{1}$ , and that in the other string having radius of cross section $R /2$ is $v_{2}$ . Then $\frac{v _{2}}{v _{1}} =$

Options:

Answer:

B

Solution:

$v = \frac{T}{μ} = \frac{T}{f π R ^{2}} \frac{v _{2}}{v _{1}} = \frac{R _{1}}{R _{2}} = 2$
