L is the length of the tube

f is the frequency

λ\lambda is the wavelength



λ2=dλλ=Ln\dfrac{\lambda}{2}=d_{\lambda\lambda}=\dfrac{L}{n}


L=nλ2\Rightarrow L= \dfrac{n\lambda}{2} for n= 1,2,3, K


But, we know that

λ=vf\lambda = \dfrac{v}{f}


Putting the values of λ,\lambda, we get

L=n(v2f)L=n(\dfrac{v}{2f}) for n= 1,2,3, K


v=343v=343 m/s and f= 680 Hz

On substituting, we get

L=n(343m/s2×680Hz)=n(0.252)L =n(\dfrac{343m/s}{2\times 680Hz})=n(0.252)


for n = 1,2,3,K


Hence, the value of L will be 0.252m , 0.504m, 0.756m ....
