Question
You are trying to design a musical instrument that consists of a pipe filled with air at 20oC, so that it produces two successive harmonics that have frequencies of 240 Hz and 280 Hz. The speed of sound in air at 20oC is 343 m/s. (a) Should the pipe be open at both ends, or closed at one end? Justify your response. (b) How long should the pipe be?

Determine the temperature in x First, establish if the frequency in the cold room will be greater or smaller than in the warm room. See if you can write an expression which shows how the frequency depends on speed of sound and the length of the flute for both the warm and cold room and then combine these expressions to obtain the speed of sound in the cold room. Knowing the speed of sound in the cold room and how the speed of sound depends on the temperature, you can now…arrow_forward

They occur when the water level is 56.5 cm and 17.5 cm below the rim. Note that there is an end correction, meaning that the effective length of the air column is longer than the observed length by a fixed constant amount.
