Find the greatest length of an organ pipe open at both ends that will have its fundamental frequency in the normal hearing range (20—20,000 Hz). Speed of sound in air = 340 m s -1 .

Question

Philoid · Accepted Answer

Given:
Speed of sound in air

We are considering a minimum fundamental frequency of ,
since, for maximum wavelength, the frequency is a minimum.

Length of organ pipe

We have:

We know that:

On substituting the respective values in the above equation, we get:

Length of the organ pipe is 8.5 m.

Find the greatest length of an organ pipe open at both ends that will have its fundamental frequency in the normal hearing range (20—20,000 Hz). Speed of sound in air = 340 m s-1.

Find the greatest length of an organ pipe open at both ends that will have its fundamental frequency in the normal hearing range (20—20,000 Hz). Speed of sound in air = 340 m s^-1.
