The length of a pipe open at both ends can be calculated using the formula for wavelength, λ = v/f. Given that the second overtone frequency is 2000 Hz and the speed of sound is 343 m/s, the wavelength is determined to be 0.1715 m. For a pipe open at both ends, the length of the pipe is half the wavelength of the second overtone, resulting in a length of 0.08575 m.
PREREQUISITESStudents studying physics, particularly in acoustics, music educators, and anyone interested in the principles of sound wave behavior in pipes.
You found the wavelength of the sound. How is that related to the length of the pipe?ynehs said:Homework Statement
The second overtune for a pipe, open at both ends is 2000 Hz, the speed of the sound is 343 m/s. What is the length of the pipe?
Homework Equations
• λ = v/f
The Attempt at a Solution
λ = v/f = (340 m/s)/(2000 Hz) = 0.17 m
don't know if this is correct.
Thanks in advanced.
