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 rope of uniform mass per unit length \(\mu\) is suspended from the ceiling, hanging under its own weight. If a small transverse pulse is formed at its lower end A, it travels upward with a local speed \(v=\sqrt{\frac{tension}{mass/length}}\).
                         
The speed of the pulse is:

1. maximum at A, minimum at O
2. minimum at A, maximum at O
3. uniform
4. minimum at A and O, maximum in the middle

A string fixed at both ends is under tension \(T.\) It has a length \(L,\) and mass \(m.\) The fundamental frequency of the vibration is: 
1. \({ 1 \over 2L} \sqrt {T\over m}~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\) 2. \(\frac{1}{4 L} \sqrt{\frac{T}{m}}~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\)
3. \(\frac{1}{2} \sqrt{\frac{TL}{2m}}\) 4. \(\frac{1}{2} \sqrt{\frac{T}{m L}}\)

A steel wire \(0.72~\text{m}\) long has a mass of \(5\times10^{-3}~\text{kg}\). If the wire is under tension of \(60~\text{N}\), the speed of transverse waves on the wire will be:
1. \(85~\text{m/s}\)
2. \(83~\text{m/s}\)
3. \(93~\text{m/s}\)
4. \(100~\text{m/s}\)

A wave travelling along a string is described by, \(y(x,~t)=0.005 \mathrm{sin}(80.0x-3.0t),\) in which the numerical constants are in SI units. The displacement \(y\) of the wave at a distance \(x = 30.0\) cm and time \(t=20\) s is:
1. \(0.5\) mm

2. \(5\) mm
3. \(5\) m
4. \(5\) cm
