Standing waves with node-node boundary conditions

Standing waves in a string fixed at its ends has a zero vertical or horizintal deviation at the fixation points. In this case the standing wave has nodes at the ends. The same situation takes place in an air pipe with both ends open or both ends closed.

Adjust the wave length of the standing wave so that it satisfied the boundary condition at the right end.
