Answer

$P_{av,2} = 0.100~W$

Work Step by Step

$P_{av,1} = \frac{1}{2}\sqrt{\mu~F_T}~\omega_1^2~A^2$ We can find an expression for $\omega$. $\omega = 2\pi~f$ $\omega = 2\pi~(\frac{v}{\lambda})$ $\omega = 2\pi~\sqrt{\frac{F_T}{\mu}}(\frac{1}{\lambda})$ We can find an expression for $\omega_1$. $\omega_1 = 2\pi~\sqrt{\frac{F_T}{\mu}}(\frac{1}{\lambda_1})$ We can find an expression for $\omega_2$ when $\lambda_2=2\lambda_1$. $\omega_2 = 2\pi~\sqrt{\frac{F_T}{\mu}}(\frac{1}{\lambda_2})$ $\omega_2 = 2\pi~\sqrt{\frac{F_T}{\mu}}(\frac{1}{2\lambda_1})$ $\omega_2 = (\frac{1}{2})~2\pi~\sqrt{\frac{F_T}{\mu}}(\frac{1}{\lambda_1})$ $\omega_2 = \frac{\omega_1}{2}$ We can find the new average power. $P_{av,2} = \frac{1}{2}\sqrt{\mu~F_T}~\omega_2^2~A^2$ $P_{av,2} = \frac{1}{2}\sqrt{\mu~F_T}~(\frac{\omega_1}{2})^2~A^2$ $P_{av,2} = (\frac{1}{4})~\frac{1} {2}\sqrt{\mu~F_T}~\omega_1^2~A^2$ $P_{av,2} = (\frac{1}{4})~P_{av,1}$ $P_{av,2} = (\frac{1}{4})~(0.400~W)$ $P_{av,2} = 0.100~W$
