What is the harmonic number for the mode of oscillation illustrated? 5. You are correct. Your receipt no. is 160-68 Previous Tries The length of the pipe is 0.350 m. What is the pitch (frequency) of the sound? Use 340 m/s for the speed of sound in air. 1.21x103 Hz You are correct. Your receipt no. is 160-6588 e The pipe is now held vertically, and a small amount of water is poured inside the pipe. The first harmonic frequency is then measured to be 315.7 Hz. Measuring from the bottom of the pipe, what is the level of the water? 0.0269m Previous Tries Since we know the frequency of harmonic 1, and the speed of sound, we can calculate the effective length of the pipe with water in the bottom. The full length minus the effective length must be the length of the water. Submit…arrow_forward
