Question

derive the formula for the velocity of transverse waves on a string

Answer 1

A non-dispersive system has the property that all waves travel with the same speed,
independent of the wavelength and frequency.

Answer 2

dÃ(dÃ=dx)=

Answer 3

start with y=Asin(wt-kx) and differentiate it wrt time.i think this will give velocity although i'm not too sure about this

Answer 4

no it would give u particle velocity...

Answer 5

oh i see you want the velocity of the entire wave??

Answer 6

ya, wave velocity on a 'string'

Answer 7

ok then we consider the wave twice once it goes towards the end and after it reflects from the other end.then superimpose the two waves to get resultant wave.then apply boundary condition like this:y=0 at x=0 for all t and y=0;x=l for all t to get amplitude =0.then we have the modes of vibrations can you proceed further?
