Question

Two harmonic waves are on different ropes with the same density and tension. They have the same frequency, but wave I has twice the amplitude of wave II. Which wave has larger speed? Which has larger maximum particle speed?

TestHub · Accepted Answer

Wave speed T / μ ​ is fixed by the rope, so equal. Maximum particle speed ω A is larger for the wave with larger amplitude (I).
