Write down the expression for speed of transverse waves in solids and in a stretched string.

Answer»

In a solid:

Speed of transverse wave, \(v=\sqrt{\frac{η}{ρ}}\)

Where η is modulus of rigidity and ρ is density of material of solid.

In a stretched string: Here \(v=\sqrt{\frac{T}{m}}\)

Where T is tension in the string and m is mass per unit length of the string.
