Question
A crude approximation of human voice production is to consider the breathing passages and mouth to be a resonating tube closed at one end.
Part A - What is the fundamental frequency, in hertz, of a voice if the tube is 0.18-m long, taking air temperature to be 37.0°C?
Part B - What would this frequency become, in hertz, if the person replaced the air with helium? Assume the same temperature dependence for the speed of sound in helium as for air, and that the speed of sound in Helium is 965 m/s at 0°C.
