You send a traveling wave along a particular string by oscillating one end. If you increase the frequency of oscillations, does the speed of the wave increase, decrease, or remain the same?

Answer:

The speed of the wave remains the same

Explanation:

Since the speed of the wave v = √(T/μ) where T is the tension in the string and μ is the linear density of the string.

We observed that the speed, v is independent of the frequency of the  wave in the string. So, increasing the frequency of the wave has no effect on the speed of the wave in the string, since the speed of the wave in the string is only dependent on the properties of the string.

So, If you increase the frequency of oscillations, the speed of the wave remains the same.
