    frequency of tuning fork = 440 Hz

    wave length λ = velocity of sound / frequency

    = 343 / 440 m

    =.7795 m

    = 77.95 cm

    λ = 77.95 cm

    Let length of rod having fundamental wavelength of 77.95 cm be L

    L = λ / 2

    L = 77.95 / 2

    = 38.975 cm.

    length of rod = 38.975 cm.

    = 0. 39 m
