Answer:

The frequency at which the string will create a standing wave be with three loops is 8.6 Hz

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed of the of the wave, v = 12.9 m/s

The number of loops of the standing wave = 3 loops

The length of the string = 2.00 m

Given that one loo = half of the wavelength, we have;

Three loops = 3 × half = One and half wavelength = 1.5·λ

The frequency of a wave = f = v/λ

Therefore, we have;

The frequency, f = 12.9/1.5 = 8.6 Hz

The frequency at which the string will create a standing wave be with three loops = 8.6 Hz.
