Two strings with circular cross section and made of same material, are stretched to have same amount of tension. A transverse wave is then made to pass through both the strings. The velocity of the wave in the first string having the radius of cross section R is \(\mathrm{v}_1\), and that in the other string having radius of cross section \(R / 2\) is \(v_2\). Then \(\frac{v_2}{v_1}=\) ________.
Pick an option to check your answer.
