The first three overtones for a pipe open at both ends correspond to the first three harmonic frequencies, which are determined by the fundamental frequency and the length of the pipe. The overtones are characterized by the presence of antinodes at both ends of the pipe, resulting in specific frequency ratios. The fundamental frequency is the first harmonic, followed by the second harmonic (first overtone) and the third harmonic (second overtone). For precise calculations, refer to resources such as Wikipedia and educational physics websites.
