A string of length \(L\) is clamped at both ends and held under constant tension. When excited in its fundamental mode, a standing wave with wavelength \(\lambda_1\) is established. When excited in its first overtone, a standing wave with wavelength \(\lambda_2\) is established. What is the ratio \(\lambda_1 / \lambda_2\)?
