Students create a standing wave with three loops on a slinky 3.75 m
long. They time 20 oscillations in
6.73 s. What is the wavelength of
the standing wave?
(Unit = m)

Explanation:

Given that,

Number of loops are 3

Length of slinky is 3.75 m

They time 20 oscillations in  6.73 s.

We need to find the wavelength of  the standing wave.

For 3 loops,

Here, is the wavelength of the standing wave

So,

So, the wavelength of the standing wave is 2.5 m.
