The equation of a vibrating string, fixed at both ends, is given by , where x is the distance (in cm) measured from one end of the string, t is the time (in seconds), and y gives the displacement. The string vibrates in 4 loops. The speed of transverse waves along the string equals, for the fundamental mode,

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

From the equation: and .

.

Wave speed is a property of the medium, so it is the same for the fundamental mode: . Answer: (A).
