A stove is connected to a stovepipe of length L=3m. When the wind blows, the pipe sometimes “sings” (just like blowing across the top of a coke bottle). The fundamental frequency and lowest few overtones are usually heard. Assume the speed of sound to be 300 m/s.
a) Assume that the pipe is “open” on one end and “closed” on the other. Draw a displacement standing wave diagram for this case and determine the fundamental frequency of sound that is produced.
b) Now suppose we open the closed end. Draw a displacement standing wave diagram for this case and determine the fundamental frequency of sound that is produced.
c) The previous two problems dealt with two different configurations (open-closed and open-open). Which configuration and overtone produces a frequency of 150 Hz?
