Chapter 14, Problem 82PCE
A friend in another city tells you that she has two organ pipes of different lengths, one open at both ends, the other open at one end only. In addition, she has determined that the beat frequency caused by the second-lowest frequency of each pipe is equal to the beat frequency caused by the third-lowest frequency of each pipe. Her challenge to you is to calculate the length of the organ pipe that is open at both ends, given that the length of the other pipe is 1.00 m.

Consecutive resonances occur at wavelengths of 8.00 m and 4.80 m in an organ pipe closed at one end. What is the
length of the organ pipe? Explain your reasoning.
The auditory canal of the outer ear acts as a closed end resonator which has a natural frequency of around 3500 Hz. This canal serves to amplify sounds with frequencies around this value, thus making us more sensitive to such frequencies. If the speed of waves inside the canal is 350 m/s, then what is the estimated length of the canal?
The pan flute is a musical instrument consisting of a number of closed-end tubes of different lengths. When the musician blows over the open ends, each tube plays a different note. The longest pipe is 0.33 m long. What is the frequency of the note it plays?
