Answer:
1070 Hz
Explanation:
First, I should point out there might be a typo in the question or the question has inconsistent values. If the tube is 40 cm long, standing waves cannot be produced at 42.5 cm and 58.5 cm lengths. I assume the length is more than the value in the question then. Under this assumption, we proceed as below:
The insert in the tube creates a closed pipe with one end open and the other closed. For a closed pipe, the difference between successive resonances is a half wavelength .
Hence, we have
.
The speed of a wave is the product of its wavelength and its frequency.
The motion of the light is a uniform motion with constant speed 
, therefore we can use the basic relationship between speed, space and time:
(1)
where S is the distance covered and t is the time taken. The light takes t=1.3 s to travel from the moon to Earth, therefore by rearranging eq.(1) we can find the distance between the Moon and the Earth:
