Snapshot graph of the initial transverse wave on the string.
A wave driver oscillating at a constant frequency driver frequency operates on a stretched string of fixed linear mass density, generating a transverse periodic wave. A snapshot of the wave is taken as shown in the diagram. If the tension in the string is quadrupled while maintaining the same driver frequency, what is the ratio \(\dfrac{\lambda_{\text{new}}}{\lambda_{\text{old}}}\) of the new wavelength to the original wavelength?
