Vibrating String and Loops

If a string fixed at both ends vibrates in three loops, the wavelength is \(30\text{ cm}\). The length of string is:
30 cm
45 cm
60 cm
90 cm

Solution:

For a string fixed at both ends vibrating in \(n\) loops, the length of the string is given by \(L = \frac{n\lambda}{2}\). Here, \(n = 3\) and \(\lambda = 30\text{ cm}\), so \(L = 3 \times \frac{30}{2} = 45\text{ cm}\).
