Intro Physics What Is the Basic Physics Book for Learning About Organ Pipes?

[askor]

Can someone please tell me what basic physics textbook that teach organ pipe?

Thanks

Can you be more specific about what you mean by "teach organ pipe"? Do you mean the basics of standing wave resonance in open and closed pipes?

 

[askor]

Yes perhaps.

 

[Doc Al]

Plenty of standard Introductory Physics texts have sections on this sort of thing. You need to look for a book that has a section on sound, and that covers standing waves and resonance in open and closed pipes. That should get you started.

Plenty of web resources as well. For instance:
Hyperphysics: Standing Waves
Hyperphysics: Resonances of open air columns

This has a more detailed, but introductory, treatment than you'd find in survey-type texts.

And here's an article that first appeared in Scientific American (in 1982) that might be of interest: The Physics of Organ Pipes
