Calculate Resonance Wavelength??

Homework Statement


Ive been asked to calculate the resonance wavelength of gas in a resonance tube.
What I have to calculate this with is the frequency f and the average difference of length between each 1⁄2 wavelength measurement. It says calculate it using these 2 things and I can't find a formula to do this with.

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



I know a normal wavelength is v/f but I don't know how to calculate this using the difference between 1/2 wavelength measurements.

Solved, the resonance wavelength is simply 2x the 1/2 wavelength...
 


Can you explain this more?
