A wave pulse moves along a uniform string.The speed of this wave is constant but the speed of the particles of the string changes with time.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The speed of a wave pulse in a uniform string depends on the tension and the mass per unit length of the string, and remains constant. However, the speed of the particles in the string changes as the wave passes through them, oscillating about their equilibrium positions.
