The correct answer is:
$20 \mathrm{~Hz}$
Separation between consecutive nodes, $\frac{\lambda}{2}=5 \mathrm{~cm}$
$$
\therefore \quad \lambda=10 \mathrm{~cm}=0.1 \mathrm{~m}
$$
The frequency of vibration is given as:
$$
\mathrm{n}=\frac{\mathrm{v}}{\lambda}=\frac{2}{0.1}=20 \mathrm{~Hz}
$$
$$
\therefore \quad \lambda=10 \mathrm{~cm}=0.1 \mathrm{~m}
$$
The frequency of vibration is given as:
$$
\mathrm{n}=\frac{\mathrm{v}}{\lambda}=\frac{2}{0.1}=20 \mathrm{~Hz}
