Solved: Consider a sine wave traveling down the stretched

Chapter 5, Problem 78GP

(choose chapter or problem)

Consider a sine wave traveling down the stretched two-part cord of Fig. . Determine a formula

 for the ratio of the speeds of the wave in the heavy section versus that in the lighter section, \(v_{H} / v_{L}\), and

 for the ratio of the wavelengths in the two sections. (The frequency is the same in both sections. Why?)

 Is the wavelength greater in the heavier section of cord or the lighter?
