17. For a standing wave mode on a string fixed at both ends, adjacent antinodes are separated by a distance of 20 cm . Waves travel on this string at a speed of 1200 cm/s1200 \mathrm{~cm} / \mathrm{s}. At what frequency is the string vibrated to produce this standing wave? (A) 120 Hz (B) 60 Hz (C) 40 Hz (D) 30 Hz
