You have two air columns that are each 2.330 m long. One column is open at both ends and the other is closed at one end. You wish to determine the frequencies you can produce in the audible range (20 Hz–20,000 Hz) on a day when the temperature of the air is at 26.00°C. (Give your answers to at least four significant figures. Assume that the speed of sound at 0° C is exactly 331 m/s.) a) In the column that is open at both ends, what is the highest frequency? b) In the column that is closed at one end, what is the highest frequency?

A crude approximation of voice production is to consider the breathing passages and mouth to be a resonating tube closed at one end. If the tube is 0.260 m long, by taking air temperature to be 37.0∘C? What would this frequency become if the person's breathing passage were filled with hydrogen instead of air? Assume the same temperature dependence for hydrogen as for air.
A bat emits a sound whose frequency is 81.8 kHz. The speed of sound in air at 20.0 oC is 343 m/s. However, the air temperature is 41.8 oC, so the speed of sound is not 343 m/s. Assume that air behaves like an ideal gas, and find the wavelength of the sound.
Two identical columns, open at both ends, are in separate rooms. In room A, the temperature is T = 20°C and in room B, the temperature is T = 25°C . A speaker is attached to the end of each tube, causing the tubes to resonate at the fundamental frequency. Is the frequency the same for both tubes? Which has the higher frequency?
