A source of sound is at one end of a hollow tube. An observer at another end hears two distinct notes after a time interval of $1$ $ \mathrm{s}$. If velocity of sound in air is $340$ $ \mathrm{m}$ $ \mathrm{s}^{-1}$ and in metal is $3740$ $ \mathrm{m}$ $ \mathrm{s}^{-1}$, then the length of pipe is,
