Two strings $A$ and $B$ of the same material are stretched by the same tension. The radius of string $A$ is double the radius of string $B$. $A$ transverse wave travels on string $A$ with speed $V_A$ and on string $B$ with speed $V_B$. The ratio $\frac{V_A}{V_B}$ is:

  • A
    $\frac{1}{4}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{2}$
  • C
    $2$
  • D
    $4$

$A$ string of mass $0.2 \ kg$ is under a tension of $2.5 \ N$. The length of the string is $2 \ m$. $A$ transverse wave starts from one end of the string. The time taken by the wave to reach the other end is: (in $s$)

$A$ wire of length $50 \ cm$ and weighing $10 \ g$ is attached to a spring at one end and to a fixed wall at the other end. The spring has a spring constant of $50 \ N/m$ and is stretched by $1 \ cm$. If a wave pulse is produced on the string near the wall,then how much time will it take to reach the spring (in $s$)?
