Stationary Waves Physics

Property of wave: wave speed; light waves in air have a greater speed of propagation than do sound waves in air; physical quantities that determine speed of transverse waves on a string are tension in string & mass per unit length (linear mass density); increasing tension increases restoring forces that tend to straighten the string, increasing the wave speed; increasing the mass makes the motion more sluggish and decreases the speed
