A person vibrates the end of a string sending transverse waves down the string. If the person then doubles the frequency at which he vibrates the string, the speed of the wavesA. doubles and the wavelength doubledB. doubles while the wavelength is halvedC. is unchanged while the wavelength is doubledD. is unchanged while the wavelength is halved. |
| Answer» The wave speed depends on factors on factors of tension in the string and its composition. Hence, since the wave speed is unchanged, with an increased frequency, there is a decreased wavelength `(v=flambda)` | |
