A transverse wave travels on a steel wire with a velocity 
when tension in it is 
. When the tension is changed to 
, the velocity changed to 
. The value of 
is close to
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
Speed of transverse wave over a string is given by
(i)
where, 
tension in string
mass per unit length of string.
Here, when velocity is 
, then tension, 
Let when velocity is 
, then tension is 
, hence from
Eq. (i), we get
