Problem

A pulse travels along a string and passes from Segment 1 into Segment 2. Both segments are under the same tension of

120\,\text{N}

. Segment 1 has a linear mass density of

4.0\times10^{-3}\,\text{kg/m}

, and the incident wavelength in Segment 1 is

0.60\,\text{m}

. Segment 2 has a linear mass density of

9.0\times10^{-3}\,\text{kg/m}

. Calculate the wavelength of the transmitted wave in Segment 2.
