Accepted Answer

To double the wave speed on the string, the tension has to increase by a factor of 4. What is wave in string?A disturbance or variation that causes energy to be transferred gradually from one point to another in a medium. It can be an elastic deformation or a change in pressure, electric or magnetic intensity, electric potential, or temperature. Because the string swings up and down at an angle to the wave's horizontal motion, strings offer an illustration of transverse waves.The wave speed of string is v = √(T/μ)  whereT is the tensionμ the mass per unit length of the string. So, to double the wave speed on the string, the tension has to increase by a factor of 4. To double the wave speed on the string, the tension has to increase by a factor of 4.

Suggested Answer

 The wave speed on a taut string is v = √(T/μ) where T is the tension and μ the mass per unit length of the string. Therefore, to double the wave speed on the string, the tension has to increase by a factor of 4. In your notation
