Velocity Of Transverse Are these definitions for transverse wave velocity on Stretched Stringa string consistent?

While studyingI've found two definitions for the velocity of a Transversetransverse wave I came across 2 definitionon a stretched string: $$ \begin{align} v & = \frac{\omega}{k} \tag{1} \\[10px] v & = \sqrt{\frac{T}{u}} \tag{2} \end{align} $$

  1. v=w/k

  2. v=(T/u) ^1/2

AreQuestion: Are these two definitions pointing towards the same velocitymutually consistent, or is there a fundamental difference as 1)?

I'm asking because $\operatorname{Eq.}{\left(1\right)}$ suggests dependence on frequency while 2)$\operatorname{Eq.}{\left(2\right)}$ doesn't.
