The correct answer is:
The situation in the rope is given below,
The velocity of the wave at the bottom of the rope is given by,
; where is tension and is linear mass density of the string.
Hence, the wavelength for frequency will be,
Similarly, at top the velocity will be,
And, the wavelength will be,
Hence, the ratio of both wavelengths will be,
.
