Question

A flute and a piccolo are both effectively pipes that are open at both ends, with holes in their sides to allow them to produce more tones. The piccolo is very nearly a half-size version of the flute. How does this fact explain why the piccolo's tones are one octave above those of a flute?

Answer 1

Explained

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the piccolo is very nearly a half-size version of the flute.The piccolo's tones are one octave above those of a flute, because the air column inside a piccolo is half the length of the air column inside a flute, it vibrates at twice the pitch of the air column inside a flute.
