SUMMARY
The lowest tone that resonates in a closed-end pipe of length L is established at 200Hz. Frequencies that will not resonate in this pipe include 400Hz, 600Hz, 1000Hz, and 1400Hz. The fundamental frequency is calculated using the formula f1 = v/4L, where v is the speed of sound. Subsequent resonant frequencies are determined by the formula fn = (2n-1)f1, where n represents the harmonic number.
