A uniform tube of length 60.5 cm60.5 \mathrm{~cm}60.5 cm is held vertically with its lower end dipped in water. A sound source of frequency 500 Hz500 \mathrm{~Hz}500 Hz sends sound waves into the tube. When the length of tube above water is 16 cm16 \mathrm{~cm}16 cm and again when it is 50 cm50 \mathrm{~cm}50 cm, the tube resonates with the source of sound. Two lowest frequencies (in Hz\mathrm{Hz}Hz ), to which tube will resonate when it is taken out of water, are (approximately).
