उत्तर
Let, there is n number of loops in the string.

The length corresponding to each loop is `λ/2`.
Now, we can write
L = `(nλ)/2`
⇒ λ = `(2L)/n` .....[For n loops]
⇒ `v/v = (2L)/n` ......[∵ v = vλ]
⇒ v = `n/(2L)`v = `n/(2L) sqrt(T/mu)` .....[∵ Velocity of transverse waves = `sqrt(T/mu)`]
⇒ v ∝ n ......[∵ Length and speed are constants]
So, v1 : v2 : v3: v4 = n1 : n2 : n3 : n4
= 1 : 2 : 3 : 4
