A steel wire has a length of $12$ $m$ and a mass of $2.10$ $kg$. What will be the speed of a transverse wave on this wire when a tension of $2.06{\rm{ }} \times {10^4}$ $\mathrm{N}$ is applied ?

Speed of transverse wave in a tense wire is,
$v=\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{T}}{\mu}}=\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{T}}{\mathrm{M} / \mathrm{L}}}=\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{TL}}{\mathrm{M}}}$
$\therefore v =\sqrt{\frac{2.06 \times 10^{4} \times 12}{2.1}}=343 \frac{\mathrm{m}}{\mathrm{s}}$

A uniform rope of length $L$ and mass $m_1$ hangs vertically from a rigid support. A block of mass $m_2$ is attached to the free end of the rope. A transverse pulse of wavelength $\lambda _1$, is produced at the lower end of the rope. The wave length of the pulse when it reaches the top of the rope is $\lambda _2$. The ratio $\lambda _2\,/\,\lambda _1$ is

$Assertion :$ Two waves moving in a uniform string having uniform tension cannot have different velocities.
$Reason :$ Elastic and inertial properties of string are same for all waves in same string. Moreover speed of wave in a string depends on its elastic and inertial properties only.
