If the initial tension on a stretched string is doubled, then the ratio of the initial and final speeds of a transverse wave along the string is: 
1. \(1:2\)
2. \(1:1\)
3. \(\sqrt{2}:1\)
4. \(1:\sqrt{2}\)

A rope of uniform mass per unit length \(\mu\) is suspended from the ceiling, hanging under its own weight. If a small transverse pulse is formed at its lower end A, it travels upward with a local speed \(v=\sqrt {\dfrac{\text{tension}}{\text{mass/length}}}\).
                         
The speed of the pulse is:

1. maximum at A, minimum at O
2. minimum at A, maximum at O
3. uniform
4. minimum at A and O, maximum in the middle
