If the speed of sound in air is v = 340 m/s, what is approximately the length of a shortest air column closed at one end that will respond to a tuning fork of frequency f = 200 Hz? Answer in units of cm.

An air column in a pipe, which is closed at one end will be in resonance with a vibrating tuning fork of frequency $264 \mathrm{~Hz}$, What is the length of the column if it is in $\mathrm{cm} ?$ (speed of sound in $\operatorname{air}=330 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ ) (A) $62.50$ (B) $15.62$ (C) 125 (D) $93.75$
The speed of sound waves in air is found to be 340 m/s. Determine the fundamental frequency (1st harmonic) of an open-end air column that has a length of 67.5 cm.
