Answer 1

Answer:  Please see answer in explanation column.

Explanation:

Given that

v≈(331 + 0.60T)m/s

where Temperature, T =  14°C

v≈(331 + 0.60 x 14)m/s

v =331+ 8.4 = 339.4m/s

In our solvings, note that

f= frequency

 λ=wavelength

L = length

v= speed of sound

a) Length of the pipe is calculated using the fundamental frequency formulae that

f=v/2L

Length = v/ 2f

= 339.4m/s/ 2 x 494Hz ( s^-1)= 0.3435m

b) wavelength of the fundamental standing wave in the pipe

L = nλ/2,

λ = 2L/ n

λ( wavelength )= 2 x 0.3435/ 1

= 0.687m

c) frequency of the fundamental standing wave in the pipe

F = v/  λ

= 339.4m/s/0.687m=

494.03s^-1 = 494 Hz

d) the frequency in the traveling sound wave produced in the outside air.

This is the same as the frequency in the open organ pipe = 494Hz

e)The wavelength of the travelling sound wave produced in the outside air is the same as the wavelength calculated in b above = 0.687m

f) To play D above middle c . the distance is given by

L =v/ 2 f

= 343/ 2 x 294

=0.583m
