NEET Physics Transverse & Longitudinal Waves MCQ Question
A transverse wave is traveling along a stretched string with a tension of 50 N. The mass per unit length of the string is 0.02 kg/m. Calculate the speed of the wave on the string.
50 m/s
25 m/s
100 m/s
10 m/s
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The speed of a transverse wave on a string is given by the formula v = sqrt(T/μ), where T is the tension and μ is the mass per unit length. Substituting the given values, v = sqrt(50/0.02) = 50 m/s.
