A very long rope is made by joining two shorter stretches at its ends. The first section has a linear mass density of 10.77 g/m, while that of the second section is 6.58 g/m. the compound string is subjected to a voltage of 140 N. It is observed that for the first section a wave with a wavelength λ=14.3 cm is propagated. What will be the length of these waves when it passes to the second section?
