Stationary waves — practice question

The diagram represents a steel wire secured at one end and kept under tension at the other end by a weight suspended over a pulley. A vibration generator is fixed to the wire close to the clamped end. A stationary wave with one loop is formed. The frequency of the vibration generator is $f$. Which frequency should be selected to create a stationary wave with two loops?

  • A$\frac{f}{4}$
  • B$\frac{f}{2}$
  • C$2f$
  • D$4f$
