    In order to attempt a solution, you need to understand how the equation λ=4L/n relates to closed-end air pipes. Let's take a crack at that. The gist of it is that since air can only move at the open end of a closed-end pipe, 1 end of a closed-pipe must always be a node while the other end (the...
