Violinists sometimes bow a string to produce maximum vibration (antinodes) at one-quarter and three-quarters of the string

Question:

Violinists sometimes bow a string to produce maximum vibration (antinodes) at one-quarter and three-quarters of the string length rather than at the middle of the string. Then the string vibrates with a wavelength equal to the string length rather than twice the string length. (See Figure 19.13 a. and b.) What is the effect on the frequency when this occurs?
