A string is stretched so that it is under tension and is tied at both ends so that the endpoints don't move. A mechanical oscillator then vibrates the string so that a standing wave is created. The dark line in each diagram represents a snapshot of a string at an instant in time when the amplitude of the standing wave is a maximum. The lighter lines represent the string at other times during a complete cycle. All of the strings are identical except for their lengths, and all strings have the same tension. The number of nodes and antinodes in each standing wave is different. the lengths of the strings (L) and the amplitudes at the antinodes (A) are given in each figure.
Rank the speed of the wave in the strings.
Enter in the form A > B = C .
Hint: v=(T/μ)0.5.
