How can this be done. I know it has to do with the length, but what about the width? Does that have any bearing?
An open end pipe is a type of tube or conduit that has one end open, allowing air or other substances to pass through it freely. It is commonly used in musical instruments, such as flutes and clarinets, and in ventilation systems.
The frequency of an open end pipe can be calculated using the equation f = nv/2L, where f is the frequency, n is the harmonic number, v is the speed of sound, and L is the length of the pipe. This equation assumes that the pipe is open at both ends and that there are no obstructions or irregularities in the pipe.
The speed of sound is a measure of how quickly sound waves travel through a medium, such as air or water. In dry air at room temperature, the speed of sound is approximately 343 meters per second.
A harmonic number is a whole number that represents the number of half-wavelengths that fit into the length of the pipe. For example, the first harmonic has one half-wavelength, the second harmonic has two half-wavelengths, and so on.
The length of the pipe directly affects the frequency, as shown in the equation f = nv/2L. As the length of the pipe increases, the frequency decreases, and vice versa. This is because a longer pipe allows for more half-wavelengths to fit, resulting in a lower frequency.
