Two equal length ropes A and B are fixed at their ends to walls and are knotted together. Rope A has a greater linear mass: µA = 4µB The ropes resonate with equal amplitude in a standing wave pattern so that the knot is a node. The wavelength of the waves in rope A is (greater than, less than, equal to) the waves in rope B. The maximum transverse speed of a point on rope A is (greater than, less than, equal to) a point on rope B. Briefly explain your reasoning.
