Calculate the first three overtones of a 1 m long boom-whacker that has a) both ends open and b) when one end is closed. Assume a room temperature of 25 degrees Celsius. (Ans: a) 3rd overtone: 670 Hz, b) 3rd overtone: 603.3 Hz.

Can you please help me with this?

Answer #1

The velocity of sound at 25 degrees, v = 347 m/s

a) Both ends open
Frequency of the fundamental tone, f1 = v/2L
Where L is the length of the boom-whacker.
f1 = 347/(2 x 1) = 173.5 Hz
First overtone, f2 = 2f1 = 2 x 173.5 = 347 Hz
Second overtone, f3 = 3f1 = 3 x 173.5 = 520.5 Hz
Third overtone, f4 = 4f1 = 4 x 173.58 = 694 Hz

b) One end closed
Frequency of the fundamental tone, f1 = v/4L
f1 = 347/(4 x 1) = 86.75 Hz
One end closed will produce only odd harmonics

First overtone, f2 = 3f1 = 2 x 86.75 = 260.25 Hz
Second overtone, f3 = 5f1 = 3 x 86.75 = 433.75 Hz
Third overtone, f4 = 7f1 = 4 x 86.75 = 607.25 Hz

Two 5.0 m long pipes are both producing tones and as they sound simultaneously, a beat frequency of 17.15 Hz is heard. One pipe is open at both ends and is producing its third resonant frequency, and the other pipe is closed at one end and producing a lower frequency than the one that is open at both ends. Which resonant frequency is the closed-at-one-end pipe producing? Please help me with the picture representation as well.
