How can you use a strobe light to measure the frequency of a wave on a string?

Set the strobe frequency so that the wave on the string appears to be still. The frequency of the strobe will now match the frequency of the wave.

When measuring something small, but that repeats many times (such as the wavelength of a water wave), how can you increase the accuracy of your measurement?

Measure multiple and then divide by the number you measured (e.g. measure 10 wavelengths and then divide by 10)
