You are generating traveling waves on a stretched string by wiggling one end.If you suddenly begin to wiggle more rapidly without appreciably affecting the tension,you will cause the waves to move down the string
A) faster than before.
B) slower than before.
C) at the same speed as before.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The speed of a wave on a string depends on the tension in the string and the mass per unit length of the string, not on the frequency with which the wave is generated. Therefore, wiggling more rapidly without changing the tension does not affect the speed of the waves.
