A cylindrical glass tube is partially filled with water to create an air column with a length of 0.20 m. The air column is vibrating at its fundamental frequency. After the water column is slowly lowered, the same frequency is heard. What should be the new length of the air column so that the third harmonic has the same frequency as the previous fundamental frequency? Treat the air column as a case of resonance with one open end and one closed end.
