Check my answer(there’s one above) I really just chose my best guess on this.for the ones below, can you provide a simple explanation and the answer? Please help me...

What is the length of a stopped pipe that has a fundamental frequency of 153 Hz when the speed of sound is 340 m/s?
28 cm
43 cm
56 cm
2.1 cm
17 cm
For an open pipe of length L, what are the possible wavelengths of a standing wave? (Let n = a time positive integer)
2L/3n
Ln
L/n
2L/n
A standing wave of the third harmonic is induced in a stopped pipe. The speed of sound through the air of the pipe is 340 m/s, and the frequency of the wave is 235 Hz. What is the length of the pipe?
133 cm
189 cm
109 cm
124 cm

#1

For closed pipe the fundamental frequency will be given as


f = (v)/(4L)


153 = (340)/(4L)


L = 0.56 m


L = 55 cm

#2

For open pipe the wavelength for Nth harmonic will be given as


n * (\lambda)/(2) = L


\lambda = (2L)/(n)

#3

for a closed pipe the frequency is given as


f = (nv)/(4L)

here for third harmonic n = 3


f = (3v)/(4L)

now plug in all values


235 = (3* 340)/(4L)


L = 1.09 m


L = 109 cm

#10

since in the given figure there are three complete loops

so in this case the number of harmonics are THREE
