Transverse Wave on a String

Transverse Wave on a String

### Formula

$$v=\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}$$

### Linear Density

$$\mu=\frac{m}{L}$$

### Terminologies

- T → Tension in string.

- μ → Linear mass density.

- m → Mass of string.

- L → Length of string.

### Conditions / Special Cases

- Increasing tension increases wave speed.

$$v\propto\sqrt T$$

### Usage

- Used in string vibration calculations.
