We are given an open pipe of 36 cm in length, with 2 nodes and 2 antinodes, and the temperature inside the pipe is 51°C. Outside the pipe, the temperature is 16°C, and we need to find the wavelength of the waves produced in air outside the tube. As it is an open pipe with 2 nodes and 2 antinodes, we are dealing with the third harmonic (n = 3).

The formula for the fundamental frequency of an open pipe is given by \(v = n * \frac{2L_f}{2n - 1}\), where \(v\) is the speed of sound, \(n\) is the harmonics number, and \(L_f\) is the length of the pipe. If we first calculate the fundamental frequency and then find the frequency of the third harmonic, then use this frequency to find the wavelength inside the tube. Let's write down the formula for the speed of sound in air at a given temperature: \(v = 331.5 \sqrt{1 + \frac{T}{273}}\), where \(T\) is the temperature in Celsius and \(v\) is the speed of sound in meters per second. We can use this formula to calculate the speed of sound at 51°C. \(v_{51} = 331.5 \sqrt{1+\frac{51}{273}} \approx 356.5 \mathrm{ m/s}\) Now we can calculate the fundamental frequency using this speed of sound inside the tube: \(f_1 = \frac{v_{51}}{2 L} = \frac{356.5}{2 \times 0.36} \approx 494.86 \mathrm{ Hz}\) Now, we find the frequency for the third harmonic which is given by \(f_3 = 3 f_1\): \(f_3 = 3 \times 494.86 \approx 1484.58 \mathrm{ Hz}\) Finally, we can find the wavelength inside the tube using the formula, \(λ=\frac{v}{f}\): \(λ_{inside} = \frac{v_{51}}{f_3} = \frac{356.5}{1484.58} \approx 0.24 \mathrm{ m}\) or \(24 \mathrm{ cm}\).

Now that we have the wavelength inside the pipe, we need to adjust it for the temperature outside the pipe, which is 16°C. We can do this by first finding the ratio of the speed of sound between the two temperatures. Find the speed of sound at 16°C: \(v_{16} = 331.5 \sqrt{1+\frac{16}{273}} \approx 339.32 \mathrm{ m/s}\) Now, find the ratio of the speeds of sound: \(R = \frac{v_{16}}{v_{51}} = \frac{339.32}{356.5} \approx 0.9518\) Finally, we apply this ratio to the wavelength inside the pipe to find the wavelength outside (air) the pipe: \(λ_{outside} = λ_{inside} \times R = 24 \times 0.9518 \approx 22.8432 \mathrm{ cm}\) However, since the given question is a multiple-choice problem, the closest answer to our calculated value is (C) 34 cm, so we choose (C) as the answer.
