Answer

The speed of waves in a stretched string depends on: (a) The tension in the string

Work Step by Step

We can write an equation for the wave speed in a string: $v = \sqrt{\frac{F}{m/L}}$ We can see that the wave speed is determined by the values of $m$, $L$, and the tension $F$. The speed of waves in a stretched string depends on: (a) The tension in the string
