Question
What is the length of the pipe?
Answer:
(a) 0.52m
(b) f2=640 Hz and f3=960 Hz
(c) 352.9 Hz
Explanation:
For an open pipe, the velocity is given by
Making L the subject then
Where f is the frequency, L is the length, n is harmonic number, v is velocity
Substituting 1 for n, 320 Hz for f and 331 m/s for v then
(b)
The next two harmonics is given by
f2=2fi
f3=3fi
f2=3*320=640 Hz
f3=3*320=960 Hz
Alternatively,
and 
(c)
When v=367 m/s then
