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.

You found the wavelength of the sound. How is that related to the length of the pipe?
 
i don't know, it was in the problem given by our teacher. anyways, nvrmind my question, ill just asked him the correct answer.
