Question

For transverse waves on a string, is the wave speed the same as the transverse speed of a little part of the string as the wave passes? If so, explain why. If not, explain the difference between the two speeds. Are either or both of them constant? Make sure to explain your reasoning behind your response for each part of this question.

Step 1

The transverse speed of a little part of the string is the speed of the wave as it passes that point. They are not the same. The transverse speed is always smaller than the wave speed. There are several reasons why this is the case: 1)The string is a flexible Show more…
