Two strings with circular cross section and made of same material are stretched to have same amount of tension. A transverse wave is then made to pass through the strings. The velocity of the wave in the first string having the radius of cross section $ R $ is $ v_1 $, and that in the other string having radius of cross section $ R/2 $ is $ v_2 $. Then, $ \frac{v_2}{v_1} $ is:
