Question

Let's take the speed of sound to be 340 m/s. What would be the length of the pipe in a pipe organ that produces a note with a pitch of 170

Hz?

Answer 1

L = 2 m

The length of the pipe in a pipe organ that produces a note with a pitch of 170Hz is 2m

Explanation:

Given;

Speed of sound v = 340 m/s

Frequency of sound f = 170 hz

The length of the pipe in a pipe organ that produces a note with a pitch of 170Hz is;

Length L = v/f = speed/frequency

L = 340/170

L = 2 m

The length of the pipe in a pipe organ that produces a note with a pitch of 170Hz is 2m
