A string of length 2 m carries waves at 40 m/s. Its fundamental frequency is

  • A.\( 20 \) Hz
  • B.\( 40 \) Hz
  • C.\( 80 \) Hz
  • D.\( 10 \) Hz

Answer: D

The fundamental wavelength is twice the length, so \( \lambda = 4 \) m, and

\[ f \;=\; \frac{c}{\lambda} \;=\; \frac{40}{4} \;=\; 10\ \mathrm{Hz}. \]

Equivalently \( f = c/2L = 40/(2 \times 2) \). Taking the wavelength as the length itself rather than twice it would double the answer to 20 Hz
