Two strings 
and 
of same material are stretched by same tension. The radius of the string 
is double the radius of string 
. Transverse wave travels on string 
with speed 
and on string 
with speed 
. The ratio 
is
A

Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
Velocity of transverse wave on a string is given by
where 
linear mass density of string
Since 
and 
are same for both strings,
