Solution 1

The speed of a wave on a string under tension is given by v = sqrt(T/μ), where T is the tension and μ is the linear mass density (mass/length).

If the tension is doubled, the speed of the wave becomes v' = sqrt(2T/μ) = sqrt(2) * sqrt(T/μ) = sqrt(2) * v.

The speed of a wave is also given by v = λ Knowee AI is a powerful AI-powered study tool designed to help you to solve study problem.
