1. The lowest note on a flute (an open pipe) is middle C (262 Hz). At 20C, the speed of sound in air is 343 m/s. How long is the flute? A flautist travels to a concert on a winter's day with their flute in the boot of their car where the temperature is OC. If they start playing without warming their instrument up, what will be the frequency of the lowest note they play? (The speed of sound at OC is 331m/s) To adjust the tuning, the flautist can move the head-piece of the instrument to slightly increase or decrease the length. By how many millimeters should they move it in order to play in tune.
