Effect of Tension on Wave Velocity

Effect of Tension on Wave Velocity

### Formula

$$\frac{v_2}{v_1}=\sqrt{\frac{T_2}{T_1}}$$

### Terminologies

- T₁, T₂ → Tensions.

- v₁, v₂ → Wave velocities.

### Conditions / Special Cases

- Higher tension produces faster wave propagation.

### Usage

- Used in comparison problems.
