The fundamental of a closed organ pipe is 259.6 Hz. The second harmonic of an open organ pipe has the same frequency. What is the length of the closed pipe

Respuesta :

Answer:

A closed organ pipe is λ/4  (node-antinode) long.

λ = speed / frequency = 331.5 / 259.6 = 1.28 m

λ/4 = .319 m     length of closed pipe

An open pipe has a fundamental wavelength of A-N-A or λ/2

The second harmonic would be A-N-A-N-A   or   λ = 1.28 m for the second harmonic   331.5 / 259.6 = 1.28  (the fundamental would be 331.5 / .628
