The standing wave in the figure has 4 nodes and 3 antinodes.

The wavelength of a standing wave is given by,


\lambda=(2)/(n)L

Where n=number of nodes-1

From the figure n=3

Therefore the wavelength is,


\lambda=(2)/(3)L

Therefore the wavelength of the stationary wave produced in the given string of length L is (2/3)L.
