Textbook Question
Chapter 16, Problem 16.31E
You blow across the open mouth of an empty test tube and produce the fundamental standing wave of the air column inside the test tube. The speed of sound in air is 344 m/s and the test tube acts as a stopped pipe. (a) If the length of the air column in the test tube is 14.0 cm, what is the frequency of this standing wave? (b) What is the frequency of the fundamental standing wave in the air column if the test tube is half filled with water?

What is the lowest frequency ( excluding the fundamental) at which a standing wave can occur in a meter long pipe with one end open and one end close. The speed of sound in air is 335 m/s.
A tube that is open at both ends supports a standing wave with harmonics at 300 Hz and 400 Hz, with no harmonics between. What is the fundamentalfrequency of this tube?A. 50 Hz B. 100 Hz C. 150 Hz D. 200 Hz E. 300 Hz
What is the length of a pipe that is open on both ends and has a fundamental frequency of 400 Hz? You may assume the speed of sound in air is 341 m/s.
