The physics of wind instruments is based on the concept of standing waves.
When the player blows into the mouthpiece, the column of air inside the
instrument vibrates, and standing waves are produced. Although the acoustics
of wind instruments is complicated, a simple description in terms of open and
closed tubes can help in understanding the physical phenomena related to
these instruments. For example, a flute can be described as an open-open
pipe because a flutist covers the mouthpiece of the flute only partially.
Meanwhile, a clarinet can be described as an open-closed pipe because the
mouthpiece of the clarinet is almost completely closed by the reed.
Part D
What frequencies, in terms of the fundamental frequency of the original pipe in Part A, can you create when blowing air into the pipe that has a hole halfway down its length?
▸ View Available Hint(s)
Only the odd multiples of the fundamental frequency
O Only the even multiples of the fundamental frequency
All integer multiples of the fundamental frequency
Submit
Part E
What length of open-closed pipe would you need to achieve the same fundamental frequency f as the open-open pipe discussed in Part A?
▸ View Available Hint(s)
Half the length of the open-open pipe
Twice the length of the open-open pipe
One-fourth the length of the open-open pipe
Four times the length of the open-open pipe
The same as the length of the open-open pipe
Submit
Part F
What is the frequency f" of the first possible harmonic after the fundamental frequency in the open-closed pipe described in Part E?
Express your answer in hertz.
