1. Homework Statement
A 30-cm long string, with one end clamped and the other free to move transversely, is vibrating in its second harmonic. The wavelength of the constituent traveling waves is
for second harmonic n=2
(2L)/n= wavelength
(2*30)/(2) = 30 cm
Put the answer is 40 cm, and I don't understand why
