Two strings of different linear density are joined together and pulled taut. A sinusoidal wave on these strings is traveling to the right, as shown in Figure Q15.24. When the wave goes across the boundary from string 1 to string 2, the frequency is unchanged. What happens to the velocity?

A. The velocity increases. 

B. The velocity stays the same. 

C. The velocity decreases.
