In an experiment to measure the speed of sound by a resonating air column,a tuning fork of frequency $500 \text{ Hz}$ is used. The length of the air column is varied by changing the level of water in the resonance tube. Two successive resonances are heard at air columns of length $50.7 \text{ cm}$ and $83.9 \text{ cm}$. Which of the following statements is (are) true?
$(A)$ The speed of sound determined from this experiment is $332 \text{ m s}^{-1}$
$(B)$ The end correction in this experiment is $0.9 \text{ cm}$
$(C)$ The wavelength of the sound wave is $66.4 \text{ cm}$
$(D)$ The resonance at $50.7 \text{ cm}$ corresponds to the fundamental harmonic
