The correct answer is: π A 2
Given, Amplitude of the wave = A
Maximum velocity of particle Vmax = 4v
                           (where v is the velocity of wave)
Maximum velocity of wave, vmax = 4v

or             v max = A ω = 4 v

∴               ω = 4 V A

Wavelength of the wave,

λ = velocity of wave (v) frequency of wave (f) = v ω = 2 π v ω

    = 2 π v 4 v / A = π A 2      ....(where, f = ω 2 π )
