The hose is 15.0  m15.0\;\text{m} long and contains air at room temperature where the speed of sound is 343  m/s343\;\text{m/s}. When the water valve is closed, one end of the hose is effectively sealed, while the other end (at the nozzle) remains open to atmosphere. The gardener hears the hose resonating at its fundamental frequency. What frequency does the gardener hear?
