<span>A sound wave is a pressure wave that results from the vibration of the particles o the medium from the source. The motion of the particles in the medium is parallel to the direction of the energy transport. The type of wave formed by a sound wave is the longitudinal wave. </span>A longitudinal wave is characterized by rarefactions. A longitudinal wave is a wave motion wherein the particles in the wave medium are displaced parallel to transport. When motion is detected from the source, the particle next to it vibrates from its rest position and a progressive change in phase vibration is observed at each particle within that wave. The result is that the energy is transported from one region to the other. These combined motions result in the movement of alternating regions of rarefaction in the direction of propagation.

How do you calculate the fundamental frequency of a pipe?
ankoles [38]

This depends on whether the pipe is closed or open ended.

The fundamental frequency of a pipe is the simplest, smallest portion of a wave that can fit into a pipe. At the open end of a pipe, there is always an antinode - an area with maximum air movement.

If it is an open ended pipe, there is an antinode at each end, meaning that the length of the pipe is equal to 1/2 <span>λ </span>. Manipulating the formula <span><span>v=fλ</span> </span> to solve for the fundamental frequency leaves us with <span><span>f=<span>v/<span>2L</span></span></span> </span> in an open ended pipe.
