Standing waves on strings and Standing waves in air columns

The fundamental frequency of a closed pipe, such as your vocal tract, is 240 Hz when filled with air (a mix of different molecules) that has molar mass of 29 g/mole. Using ideas from the kinetic theory of gases, estimate the vibration frequency when the vocal tract is filled with helium that has a molar mass of 4 g/mole.
