To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to wavelength depending on the frequency and speed. Mathematically, the wavelength can be expressed as
Where,
v = Velocity
f = Frequency,
Our values are given as
L = 3.6m
v= 192m/s
f= 320Hz
Replacing we have that
The total number of 'wavelengths' that will be in the string will be subject to the total length over the size of each of these undulations, that is,
Therefore the number of wavelengths of the wave fit on the string is 6.
