An air-filled pipe is found to have successive harmonics at 945 Hz , 1215 Hz , and 1485 Hz . It is unknown whether harmonics bel
ow 945 Hz and above 1485 Hz exist in the pipe. What is the length of the pipe
1 answer:
Answer:
L = 0.635m
Explanation:
This problem involves the concept of stationary waves in pipes. For pipes closed at one end,
The frequency f = nv/4L for n = 1,3,5....n
For pipes open at both ends
f = nv/2L for n = 1,2,3,4...n
Assuming the pipe is closed at one end and that velocity of sound is 343m/s in air. If we are right we will obtain a whole number for n.
