Detailed Solution

$E n e r g y = \frac{1}{2} \times s t r e s s \times s t r a i n \times v o l u m e$

$\frac{E n e r g y}{v o l u m e} = \frac{1}{2} \times s t r e s s \times s t r a i n$

$E n e g y D e n s i t y = E = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{{(s t r e s s)}^{2}}{Y} (Y = \frac{s t r e s s}{s t r a i n})$

$\Rightarrow E = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{{(\frac{F}{A})}^{2}}{Y} = \frac{F^{2}}{2 A^{2} Y}$

$∴ \frac{E_{1}}{E_{2}} = \frac{d_{2}^{4}}{d_{1}^{4}} (∵ A = \frac{π d^{2}}{4})$

$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{4} = {(\frac{d_{2}}{d_{1}})}^{4}$

$\Rightarrow {(\frac{d_{1}}{d_{2}})}^{4} = \frac{4}{1}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{d_{1}}{d_{2}} = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{1}$
