Question
Write the formula for the speed of transverse waves in a stretched string and explain the symbols used in it
✓
Answer
If both the end of a string are tied and when the string is pulled and released from the middle in a perpendicular direction, then transverse progressive waves start moving toward its ends.
Speed of these waves $\text v =\sqrt{\frac{ T }{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{ Mg }{\pi r^2 d}}$
Speed of these waves $\text v =\sqrt{\frac{ T }{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{ Mg }{\pi r^2 d}}$
