Two strings with circular cross section and made of same material are stretched to have the same amount of tension. $A$ transverse wave is then made to pass through both the strings. The velocity of the wave in the first string having the radius of cross section $R$ is $v_1$,and that in the other string having radius of cross section $R/2$ is $v_2$. Then $\frac{v_2}{v_1} = $
