If the initial tension on a stretched string is doubled, then the ratio of the initial and final speeds of a transverse wave along the string is: 
1. \(1:2\)
2. \(1:1\)
3. \(\sqrt{2}:1\)
4. \(1:\sqrt{2}\)

A uniform rope, of length \(L\) and mass \(m_1\), hangs vertically from a rigid support. A block of mass \(m_2\) is attached to the free end of the rope. A transverse pulse of wavelength \(\lambda_1\) is produced at the lower end of the rope. The wavelength of the pulse when it reaches the top of the rope is \(\lambda_2\). The ratio \(\frac{\lambda_2}{\lambda_1}\) is:
1. \(\sqrt{\frac{m_1+m_2}{m_2}}\)
2. \(\sqrt{\frac{m_2}{m_1}}\)
3. \(\sqrt{\frac{m_1+m_2}{m_1}}\)
4. \(\sqrt{\frac{m_1}{m_2}}\)
