Loss in elastic potential energy = Gain in KE
½ (YA/L)x² = ½mv²
0.5 * (0.5*10? * 10? / 0.1) * (0.04)² = 20*10? ³ v²
0.5 * (5*10²) * 1.6*10? ³ = 20*10? ³ v²
0.4 = 20*10? ³ v²
v² = 20 => v = √20 ≈ 4.47 m/s
(Re-checking calculations)
0.5 * ( (0.5e9 * 1e-6) / 0.1) * (0.04)^2 = 0.5 * (5e2) * 1.6e-3 = 4.
0.5 * 2

If μ  is Poisson’s ratio,

Y = 3K (1 - 2 μ )      ……… (1)

and Y = 2 n ( 1 + μ )  ……… (2)

With the help of equations (1) and (2), we can write

  3 Y = 1 η + 1 3 k K = η Y 9 η 3 Y

Initially S? L = 2m
S? L = √2² + (3/2)²
S? L = 5/2 = 2.5 m
? x = S? L - S? L = 0.5 m
So since λ = 1 m. ∴? x = λ/2
So white listener moves away from S? Then? x (= S? L − S? L) increases and hence, at? x = λ first maxima will appear.? x = λ = S? L − S? L.
