Q.

Two strings with circular cross section and made of same material, are stretched to have same amount of tension. A transverse wave is then made to pass through both the strings. The velocity of the wave in the first string having the radius of cross section R is v1, and that in the other string having radius of cross section R/2 is v2. Then v2v1=          [2025]

1 2  
2 2  
3 8  
4 4

v=Tμ=TρπR2

 v2v1=R1R2=2
