Explanation:
Wave velocity is vv.
Particle velocity is
\dfrac {dy}{dt} = y_{0}\cos \dfrac {2\pi}{\lambda} (vt - x) \dfrac {2\pi}{\lambda} v
dt
dy

\left (\dfrac {dy}{dt}\right )_{max} = y_{0}\dfrac {2\pi v}{\lambda}(

But, maximum particle velocity is 2 times the wave velocity.
\dfrac{2\pi v}{\lambda}y_o = 2v
λ

=2v
\therefore \lambda = \pi y_{0}∴λ= πy
