Two strings are made of the same material and have equal tensions. String 1 is thick; string 2 is thin, (a) Is the speed of waves on string 1 greater than, less than, or equal to the speed of waves on string 2? (b) Choose the besi explanation from among the following:

I. Since the strings are made of the same material, the wave speeds will also be the same.

II. A thick string implies a large mass per length and a slow wave speed.

III. A thick string has a greater force constant, and therefore a greater wave speed.
