The speed of a transverse wave travelling in a wire of length $50 \text{ cm}$,cross-sectional area $1 \text{ mm}^2$ and mass $5 \text{ g}$ is $80 \text{ ms}^{-1}$. The Young's modulus of the material of the wire is $4 \times 10^{11} \text{ Nm}^{-2}$. The extension in the length of the wire is

  • A
    $8 \times 10^{-5} \text{ m}$
  • B
    $8 \times 10^{-4} \text{ m}$
  • C
    $16 \times 10^{-5} \text{ m}$
  • D
    $16 \times 10^{-4} \text{ m}$
