Problem

An open organ pipe of length 0.85 m0.85\,\text{m} produces its third harmonic at 600 Hz600\,\text{Hz}. The pipe is then shortened to 0.68 m0.68\,\text{m} without any change in air temperature. Calculate the percentage change in the wavelength of the third harmonic (give the answer correct to the nearest whole number).
