Explanation The speed of the transverse pulse in the wire is 200 m / s , diameter of the wire is 1.50 mm and the density of copper wire is 8.92 g / cm 3 . Formula to calculate the cross section area of the wire is, A = π d 2 4 Here, A is the cross section area of the wire and d is the diameter of the wire. Formula to calculate the linear mass density of the wire is, μ = ρ A Here, μ is the linear mass density and ρ is the volume mass density. Substitute π d 2 4 for A in the above equation. μ = ρ × π d 2 4 Formula to calculate the tension in the wire is, v = T μ T = μ v 2 Here, T is the tension in the wire and v is the speed of the pulse in the wire. Substitute ρ × π d 2 4 for μ in the above equation. T = ρ × π d 2 4 × v 2 Substitute 8

Equation of Waves

Wave is an oscillation or disturbance traveling in a medium. It performs the transportation of energy but does not carry any matter. This motion of waves will transport fuel in a medium without permanent transfer of mass (particle).
