उत्तर
\[1/\sqrt{2}\]
\[T_{AB} = T\]
\[ T_{CD} = 2T\]
where
TAB is the tension in the string AB
TCD is the tension in the string CD
The eelation between tension and the wave speed is given by
\[v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mathrm{\mu}}}\]
\[v \propto \sqrt{T}\]
where
v is the wave speed of the transverse wave
μ is the mass per unit length of the string
\[\frac{v_1}{v_2} = \sqrt{\frac{T}{2T}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\]
