I just discovered a misconception in my ways of thinking about
transverse waves. Am I the only one who was not aware of the
third kind of waves in a stretched spring? The textbooks I know
totally ignore contribution of stiffens to the speed of transverse
waves. And their "derivation" of the formula v=sqr(T/mu) is
nearly artificial (based on the centripetal force). I would not
accept the derivation without knowing that it happens to lead
to correct answer.
