The time required for a small pulse to travel from A to B on a stretched cord shown is NOT altered by changing:
A)the linear mass density of the cord
B)the length between A and B
C)the shape of the pulse
D)the tension in the cord
E)none of the above (changes in all alter the time)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer
