SUMMARY
The discussion centers on determining the end correction (c) of sound waves in a single-end closed tube using the equation l + c = λ/4. Participants clarify that the gradient of the graph represents the speed of sound in air, denoted as v, which is calculated as v = 4 times the gradient. This interpretation resolves the confusion regarding the relationship between the gradient and the speed of sound.
