Question: A guitar string that is 0 . 4 7 2 m long oscillates in the third harmonic ( third smallest frequency ) . These oscillations

A guitar string that is 0.472m
long oscillates in the third harmonic (third smallest frequency). These oscillations emit a sound that travels at a speed of v=339.44m/s
towards a resonance tube that has one end open and one end closed, to set up a standing wave in the resonance tube.
The wavelength of the sound wave in the tube is \lambda =0.245m
, and it is the 4th
longest wavelength.
(The following questions will be marked correct only if your answer is within 1% of the correct value.)
What is the speed of the displacement wave in the string?
