For a cylinder that has both ends open resonant frequency is given by the following formula:
Where n is the resonance node, v is the speed of sound in air and L is the length of a cylinder.
The fundamental frequency is simply the lowest resonant frequency.
We find it by plugging in n=1:
To find what harmonic has to be excited so that it resonates at f>20Hz we simply plug in f=20 Hz and find our n:
We can see that any resonant frequency is simply a multiple of a base frequency.
Let us find which harmonic resonates with the frequency 20 Hz:
Since n has to be an integer, final answer would be 323.
