(a) The length of the string is doubled, with all other factors held constant. (b) The mass per unit length is doubled, with all other factors held constant. (c) The tension is doubled, with all other factors held constant.

Seiche
A seiche is an oscillating standing wave in a body of water. The term seiche pronounced saysh) can be understood by the sloshing of water back and forth in a swimming pool. The same phenomenon happens on a much larger scale in vast bodies of water including bays and lakes. A seizure can happen in any enclosed or semi-enclosed body of water.
