A string of mass 0 1 ~kg is under a tension 1 6 ~N . The length of the string is 1 ~m . A transverse wave starts from one end of the string. The time taken by the wave to reach the other end is

Step-by-step solution

Mass of string =0.1 lgg Tension T=1.6 ~N Length =1 ~m Man per unit length = m 1 = 0.1 1 =0.1 ~kg / m The velocity (v) of the transverse wave in the string is given by the relation aligned V &= T 4 &= 1.6 0.1 &=4 ~m / s aligned Time taken T= / V=1 / 4=0.25
