e) Consider two cylindrical pipes of equal length. One of these acts as a closed organ pipe and the other as open organ pipe. The frequency of the third harmonic in the closed pipe is 200 Hz higher than the first harmonic of the open pipe. Calculate the fundamental frequency of the closed pipe.
Introduction This problem involves harmonics in open and closed cylindrical organ pipes of equal length. We are given a relation between harmonics and are required to find the fundamental frequency of the closed pipe. Understanding the Harmonics In an open organ pipe, all harmonics are present: f₁, 2f₁, 3f₁, … In a closed organ pipe, […]
