The longest pipe found in most medium-size pipe organs is 4.88 m (16 ft) long. What is the frequency of the note corresponding to the fundamental mode if the pipe is (a) open at both ends, (b) open at one end and closed at the other?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) The frequency of the standing wave in an open pipe is 35.25 H³ú

b) The frequency of the standing wave in a pipe closed at one end is 17.623 H³ú

Step by step solution

01

Step 1 Concept of the frequency of standing wave in an open pipe and closed pipe

Thefrequency of the standing wave in an open pipe is given asf=nv2Land thefrequency of the standing wave in a closed pipe isf=nv4Lwhere,f is the frequency of nth harmonic, v is the velocity of the wave,n representsnthharmonic (n — 1, 3, 5, ...), L is the length of the pipe.

02

Calculation of the frequency in an pipe

The frequency of standing wave in an open pipe is given as

f1=nv2L=1×344″¾/s2×4.88″¾=35.25 H³ú

The frequency of standing wave in a pipe closed at one end is given as

f1=nv4L=1×344″¾/s4×4.88″¾=17.623 H³ú

The frequencies are35.25 H³ú and17.623 H³ú respectively.

Tsunami! On December 26, 2004 , a great earthquake occurred off the coast of Sumatra and triggered immense waves (tsunami) that killed some 200,000 people. Satellites observing these waves from space measured 800 km from one wave crest to the next and a period between waves of 1.0 hour . What was the speed of these waves in m/s and in km/hr? Does your answer help you understand why the waves caused such devastation?

How fast (as a percentage of light speed) would a star have to be moving so that the frequency of the light we receive from it is 10.0% higher than the frequency of the light it is emitting? Would it be moving away from us or toward us? (Assume it is moving either directly away from us or directly toward us.)

A heavy rope 6.00 m long and weighing 29.4 N is attached at one end to a ceiling and hangs vertically. A 0.500-kg mass is suspended from the lower end of the rope. What is the speed of transverse waves on the rope at the (a) bottom of the rope, (b) middle of the rope, and (c) top of the rope? (d) Is the tension in the middle of the rope the average of the tensions at the top and bottom of the rope? Is the wave speed at the middle of the rope the average of the wave speeds at the top and bottom? Explain.

A long rope with mass m is suspended from the ceiling and hangs vertically. A wave pulse is produced at the lower end of the rope, and the pulse travels up the rope. Does the speed of the wave pulse change as it moves up the rope, and if so, does it increase or decrease? Explain.

Singing in the Shower. A pipe closed at both ends can have standing waves inside of it, but you normally don’t hear them because little of the sound can get out. But you can hear them if you are inside the pipe, such as someone singing in the shower. (a) Show that the wavelengths of standing waves in a pipe of length L that is closed at both ends are λ0=2L/nand the frequencies are given by f0=nv4Lnf1, where n = 1, 2, 3, c.(b) Modelling it as a pipe, find the frequency of fundamental and the first two overtones for a shower 2.50 m tall. Are these frequencies audible?
