The flute is typically about 26 inches long and as we have seen this week it is an open tube at both ends. There are holes that are closed or opened by fingering and valves that change their effective length, and the pattern and mechanisms to do this set various designs of flutes played now and in the past. Assume that the velocity of sound in warm moist air is 340 m/s.
1. A flute player can also create higher frequencies by generating harmonics of the fundamental. With no holes open, by blowing harder on it, vibrations with shorter wavelengths will resonate in the tube. Again, thinking of the physics as a tube open at both ends without open holes otherwise, the fundamental has a wavelength that is twice the length of the tube. What are the wavelengths of the first and second harmonics? Explain how you figured that out.

A jogger runs at 7 m/s, and is trailed by a bumblebee moving at 5 m/s and emitting a frequency of 270 Hz. a). What frequency does the jogger hear if the speed of sound in air was 336 m/s? b). Based on the speed of sound, what is the ambient temperature (degrees C)?
After learning that he has yet another child, Mr. O'Hara's throws a party for the
newest member, where he plays "Happy Birthday" on the organ. If the open organ
pipe has a 5th harmonic frequency of 643 Hz, and the velocity of sound is 333 m/s,
determine the length of the pipe?
