Question
If the string in one of the panels of the figure below is vibrating at a frequency of 5.0 Hz and the distance between two successive nodes is 0.39 m, what is the speed of the waves on the string?

The wavelength is twice the distance between nodes.
The product of the wavelength (which you can compute) and the frequency (which you have been given) is the wave speed.
