Two open organ pipes, sounding together, produce a beat frequency of 8.0 Hz . The shorter one is 2.08 m long. How long is the other pipe?

The length of the longer pipe is L = 2.30 m

Explanation:

Given that:

Two open organ pipes, sounding together, produce a beat frequency of 8.0 Hz . The shorter one is 2.08 m long.

How long is the other pipe?

From above;

The formula for the frequency of open ended pipes can be expressed as:

where n = 1 ( since half wavelength exist between those two pipes)

v = 343 m/s  and L = 2.08 m

Thus, the shorter pipe produces a frequency of :

Also; we know that the beat frequency was given as 8.0 Hz

Then,

The lower frequency of the longer pipe = ( 82.45 - 8.0 )Hz

The lower frequency of the longer pipe = 74.45 Hz

Finally;

From the above equation; make Length L the subject of the formula. Then,

The length of the longer pipe is L =

The length of the longer pipe is L =

The length of the longer pipe is L =

The length of the longer pipe is L = 2.30 m

that tool is called an altimeter which measures your altitude which can be used to tell which atmosphere you are currently in, including the stratosphere.

hope this ! : )
