Question

How does increasing the tension of a spring affect a wave on the spring?

Answer 1

When waves travel across strings, the larger the tension of the string the faster the velocity of the wave. This is because of the equation:

v = the square root of (T/(m/L)) where T is the tension, m the mass of the string, and L the length of the string

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

It’s

A). wave velocity increases
