Q. Transverse waves are generated in two uniform wires A and B of the. same material by attaching their free ends to a vibrating source of frequency 200Hz. The area of cross section of A is half that of B while tension on A is twice than on B. The ratio of wavelengths of transverse waves in A and B is

Waves

Solution:

$\frac{V_1}{V_2} = \sqrt{\frac{T_1}{T_2} \times \frac{A_2 \rho_2}{A_1 \rho_1}}$
