Resonance frequencies question (first and second resonance frequencies)

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on calculating the first and second resonance frequencies for a whistle closed at one end. The correct formulas for these frequencies are f1 = v/4L for the first resonance frequency and f2 = 3v/4L for the second resonance frequency. The user initially attempted to use f1 = v/2L and f2 = v/L, which are incorrect for a closed-end system. Understanding the proper application of these formulas is crucial for accurate frequency calculations.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of wave mechanics
  • Familiarity with resonance concepts
  • Knowledge of the speed of sound in air

Trying to figure out how to go about solving this question, using these forumlas i tried to solve it but i didnt get the right answers

for frequency 1 i went with

f1=v/2L

for frequency 2 i went with

f2=v/L


any ideas on how to solve this?

The question says the whistle is closed at one end.

You had the right idea about how to answer the question, but you used the wrong formulas.
