Statement-1: If the tension in a string is doubled, the wave speed on it also doubles.

Statement-2: The wave speed on a string is directly proportional to the square root of its linear mass density.

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

The wave speed on a string is given by . If tension is doubled, the new speed becomes , so Statement-1 is false. The wave speed is inversely proportional to the square root of the linear mass density , not directly proportional, so Statement-2 is also false.
