Question

You are generating traveling waves on a stretched string by wiggling one end. If you suddenly begin to wiggle more rapidly without appreciably affecting the tension, you will cause the waves to move down the string a. faster than before.b. at the same speed as before.c. slower than before.

Answer 1

Answer:

Option as B is correct At the same speed as before

Explanation:

As we know the relation between speed of the wave and tension in string

The speed of wave in stretched string

ν = $\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu} }$  

speed of wave is the directly proportional to the square root of tension as mentioned in question tension of string is unaffected when in linear mass density is constant,  so we can say that the  speed of wave will  be the same  

Option as B is correct At the same speed as before
