Solution:

When half of the tube is dipped in water it behaves as a closed tube.
For on open pipe of length antinodes are formed at the two ends and node in between. Hence, fundamental frequency.

Fundamental frequency of closed pipe of length ,
forming antinode at open end and node at closed end is
frequency of open pipe.
