what is acoustic lenth


What is acoustic length in a pipe/tube? On a physics lab, the lab write up mentions it but it doesn't explain what it is. I know it's give by L = λ/4 and higher ones will be odd multiples of the first one. But what does this actually mean and what is it for? I looked it up but couldn't find any information.
Some help would be appreciated.
