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

AI Thread Summary
For understanding the physics of organ pipes, particularly the concepts of standing wave resonance in open and closed pipes, standard introductory physics textbooks are recommended. Look for texts that include sections on sound, standing waves, and resonance. Additionally, online resources like Hyperphysics provide valuable information on standing waves and resonances in open air columns. A specific book is suggested for a more detailed introductory treatment, and an article from Scientific American titled "The Physics of Organ Pipes" from 1982 may also be of interest for further exploration of the topic.

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

Thread 'Ashcroft and Mermin: revised edition'

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!
