$A$ uniform metal wire has length $L$,mass $M$,and density $\rho$. It is under tension $T$,and $v$ is the speed of a transverse wave along the wire. The area of cross-section of the wire is:

  • A
    $\frac{v^{2} \rho}{T}$
  • B
    $\frac{T}{v^{2} \rho}$
  • C
    $T^{2} \rho v$
  • D
    $Tv^{2} \rho$

When the length of a tense wire is made half while keeping its mass constant,what will be the effect on the speed of the transverse wave in it?

$A$ wire $PQ$ has length $4.8 \ m$ and mass $0.06 \ kg$. Another wire $QR$ has length $2.56 \ m$ and mass $0.2 \ kg$. Both wires have the same radii and are joined as a single wire. This wire is under a tension of $80 \ N$. $A$ wave pulse of amplitude $3.5 \ cm$ is sent along the wire $PQ$ from end $P$. The time taken by the wave to reach the other end of the single wire is (No power is dissipated during propagation). (in $s$)
