Question

If a human ear canal can be thought of as resembling an organ pipe, closed at one end, that resonates at a fundamental frequency of 3 000 Hz, what is the length of the canal? Use a normal body temperature of 37C37 ^ { \circ } \mathrm { C } for your determination of the speed of sound in the canal.

In this problem, the human ear canal is modeled as a pipe with one closed end. The resonant fundamental frequency is f1=3000 Hzf_{1} = 3000~\mathrm{Hz}. The temperature of the human body is T=37 CT = 37~\mathrm{^{\circ}C}. We calculate the length of the ear canal.
