Question

One closed organ pipe has a length of 2.40 m. a. What is the frequency of the note played by this pipe? b. When a second pipe is played at the same time, a 1.40-Hz beat note is heard. By how much is the second pipe too long?

Information given in the text are:

L=2.40mL = 2.40\, \mathrm{m}

a.\textit{a.}, f=?f = ?

Frequency is given by:

f=vλf = \dfrac{v}{\lambda}

Therefore, we need to determine wavelength since the speed of sound is known v=343m/sv = 343\, \mathrm{m/s}:

λ=4L=44.20m=9.60m\begin{align*} \lambda &= 4L\\ &= 4 \cdot 4.20\, \mathrm{m}\\ &= 9.60\, \mathrm{m}\\ \end{align*}

Frequency will, finally, be:

f=343m/s9.60mf = \dfrac{343\, \mathrm{m/s}}{9.60\, \mathrm{m}}

f=35/7Hz\boxed{f = 35/7\, \mathrm{Hz}}
