She finds that when she places a tuning fork of frequency 512 Hz on the bridge of her guitar, ONE of the strings starts to make a sound at the same frequency as the tuning fork. She looks at the string very carefully and sees that it is oscillating with THREE antinodes, as shown in the diagram. (a). What is the natural fundamental frequency of one string ? (b).
