Speed of transverse wave on a straight wire (mass 6.0g, length 60cm and area of cross section 1.0 mm2) is 90 ms-1. If the young’s modulus of wire in  16×1011Nm2 the extension of wire over its natural length is. 

a
0.03mm
b
0.02mm
c
0.01mm
d
0.04mm

detailed solution

Correct option is A

Speed of Transverse Wave, V=Tμ      here T = Tension and μ = Linear mass density         ​⇒T=μv2              ​⇒ μV2A=YΔll        ∵Y =TAΔll  ⇒Δl=μV2lAY​⇒Δl=6×10−3×90×901×10−6×16×1011=0.03 mm
