A string 3.80 m long is held fixed at both ends. If a sharp blow is applied to the string at its center, it takes 0.0300 s for the pulses to travel to the ends of the string and return to the middle. What is the lowest standing wave frequency for this string (in Hz)? What is the second lowest standing wave frequency for this string? What is the third lowest standing wave frequency for this string?
