Increasing wave speed on a tring

[noname1]

To increase wave speed on a string i would have to decrease the frequency and the string thickness correct? the string thickness would not make an impact correct?

The wave velocity v along a string is equal to

v = (T₀/ρ)^½ meters per second

where T₀ is string tension in Newtons, and ρ is string mass per unit length (Kg/m). (Note that the units are correct). If you decrease the string thickness without changing tension, the velocity increases. The string thickness (i.e., mass per unit length) is important.
