How Does Pipe Closure Affect Organ Pitch and Length?

[megannnx3]

1. the lowest note on an organ is 16.4 Hz. What is the shortest open organ pipe that will resonate at this frequnecy? What would be the pitch if the same organ pipe were closed?



3. is the answer 32.8 meters and 65.6 meters?

Hello megannnx3,

Welcome to Physics Forums!

1. the lowest note on an organ is 16.4 Hz. What is the shortest open organ pipe that will resonate at this frequnecy? What would be the pitch if the same organ pipe were closed?

3. is the answer 32.8 meters and 65.6 meters?

What equations are you using? How did you arrive at those numbers?
