Questions  

Transverse waves of same frequency are generated in two steel wires A and B. The diameter of A is twice of B and the tension in A is half that in B. The ratio of velocities of wave in A and B is 

a
1 : 32
b
1 : 22
c
1 : 2
d
2 : 1

detailed solution

Correct option is B

v=Tm=Tπr2ρv∝Tr⇒vAvB=TATB.rBrA=12.12=122
