    The document discusses how tension affects the frequency and wavelength of a wave on a string. It shows that if the tension is doubled, the frequency will increase by 1.414 times the original frequency, and the wavelength will decrease by 1/1.414 times. The square root relationship between tension and frequency is demonstrated using an equation for the fundamental frequency of a string.

    Solution 15-22:

    Fundamental Concept
    The question is based on the effect of the tension in the string on the frequency and
    wavelength of the wave.
    This Solution has 1 step
    Step 1

    f
    Fundamental frequency of the wave formed in string

    1 T
    2L

    From the above relation, it is clear that the frequency of the string is linearly related to
    square root of the tension.
    Let the tension in the string is doubled,

    f'
    Fundamental frequency of the wave formed in string

    1 2T
    2L

    1 T
    2

    2 L
    1.414 f
    Thus the frequency will be increased by 1.414 times the initial frequency.
    As the frequency is increased by 1.414 times, the wavelength of the wave will be
    decreased by 1/1.414 times.

    Answer
    The frequency will be increased by 1.414 times the initial frequency.
    The wavelength of the wave will be decreased by 1/1.414 times.
