Answer:

9.53 m

Explanation:

The computation of shortest organ pipe with both ends open that will resonate at this frequency is shown below:-


\lambda = (velocity)/(frequency)


= (343)/(18)

= 19.06 m

Now the

Shortest organ pipe with both ends open is

=
(\lambda)/(2)


= (19.06)/(2)

= 9.53 m

Basically we applied the above formulas so that first we easily determined the shortest organ pipe for both ends at this frequency
