Two open tubes both have actual length
1 m, but their diameters are D1 = 1 cm and D2 = 10 cm. Allowing for end corrections,
what are their fundamental frequencies? Don't forget that the tubes are open on both
ends.
The wavelength of the fundamental frequency for a completely
open pipe is twice the length of the tube: = 2l or l =
/2.
Considering end correction the expression for :
=
2L + 4C
The equation relating the wavelength of a wave, to the frequency
of the wave : v = f
The end correction for open tube = D/2
Speed of sound is 343 m/s
Case 1, D1 = 1 cm = 0.01 m
= 2*1 + 4*
(0.01/2) = 2.02 m
Thus f = v / = 343/2.02 =
169.8 Hz
Case 2 D2 = 10 cm = 0.1 m
= 2*1 + 4*
(0.1/2) = 2.2 m
Thus f = v / = 343/2.2 =
155.91 Hz
