Helping people with specific homework questions is against our terms of use. However, we can point you in the right direction.

Consider:

What is the speed of sound in air at room termperature?

How can you calculate the frequency of sound with a certain wavelength?

How does a pipe being open or closed change the wavelength it resonates at?

How does a pipe being open or closed change which harmonics occur as overtones?

Answer these 4 questions and you should be able to solve your homework question.

Note that the 4th question answers the question of why a clarinet sounds so different from a flute. One being effectively an open pipe and the other closed.
