Problem

Air in a pipe, which is open at both ends, is resonating in its first harmonic mode at a frequency of 956 Hz. If the speed of sound in air is 330 ms−1330 \text{ ms}^{-1}, which of the following will give the length of the pipe, in metres? (1) 14(330956)\frac{1}{4} \left( \frac{330}{956} \right) (2) 12(330956)\frac{1}{2} \left( \frac{330}{956} \right) (3) 2(330956)2 \left( \frac{330}{956} \right) (4) 4(330956)4 \left( \frac{330}{956} \right)
