Is there a pattern for resosnant length for closed and open air coloums. Does this apply to instruments.
Just wanted to clarify. In summary, there are different patterns for finding the resonant length of closed and open air columns. For a closed-ended column, the formula is Ln = (2n-1)Vf/4 and for an open-ended column, the formula is Ln = nv/2f. Ln represents the resonant length, n is the number corresponding to the length being found, v is the theoretical speed of sound in the medium, and f is the frequency of the soundwave. These equations can be used to calculate the resonant length for different instruments.

Yes and yes.
Your question is too vague to offer any more information.

For a closed-ended column it's:
Ln = (2n-1)Vf
4
For an open-ended column it's:
Ln = nv
2f
Ln: which resonant length your finding.
n: the number corresponding to which resonant length is being found
v: theoretical speed of sound in the particular medium you are using. in air, you can find this with the formula: v = 331.3 + 0.606*(temperature in degrees celcius)
f: frequency of the soundwave in the column.
Hope this helps

Sorry, the "4" and the "2f" are the denominators of the equations
1. What is the difference between open and closed columns?
Open columns are columns that are open at both ends, while closed columns are columns that are closed at one end and open at the other. This difference affects the way resonant lengths are calculated for each type of column.
2. How do resonant lengths in open and closed columns differ?
The resonant lengths in open and closed columns differ because of the presence or absence of an antinode (point of maximum amplitude) at one end of the column. In an open column, there is an antinode at both ends, while in a closed column, there is an antinode at the open end and a node (point of minimum amplitude) at the closed end.
3. What determines the resonant length in an open column?
The resonant length in an open column is determined by the distance between the two antinodes at each end of the column. This distance is equal to half the wavelength of the standing wave that forms within the column when it is excited at its resonant frequency.
4. How is the resonant length in a closed column calculated?
The resonant length in a closed column is calculated by multiplying the distance between the open end and the first node by two. This distance is equal to one quarter of the wavelength of the standing wave that forms within the column when it is excited at its resonant frequency.
5. How does temperature affect the resonant length in open and closed columns?
Temperature affects the speed of sound, which in turn affects the resonant lengths in open and closed columns. As temperature increases, the speed of sound increases, resulting in a shorter resonant length for both types of columns. This means that the resonant frequencies of open and closed columns will also increase as temperature increases.
