1. Open Pipe Resonance Plus some examples

2. Open Pipe Resonance An open pipe resonator is a resonating tube with both ends open The open ends have antinodes

3. Open Pipe Resonance The minimum length of a resonating open pipe is one half the wavelength of the resonance frequency Comparing open and closed pipes of the same length, the wavelength of the resonant sound for the open pipe will be half of that for the closed pipe

4. Open Pipe Resonance

5. Example 1 Find the relationship between the frequencies of an open and closed pipe of the same length with the same speed of sound

6. Example 2 A soprano saxophone is an open pipe. If all keys are closed, it is approximately 65 cm long. Using 343 m/s as the speed of sound, find the lowest frequency that can be played on this instrument.

7. Example 3 A glass pipe put inside a graduated cylinder filled with water will have a closed ending where the water starts. Using a 214Hz tuning fork, the sound is loudest when 0.4m remains outside the water. Calculate the speed of sound.

8. Video on what our lab will be like Friday (Monday if period 2,4 and 8)

9. Harmonics Open and closed pipes resonate at more than one frequency. Musical instruments using pipe resonators produce sounds that contain more than one resonant frequency. The lowest frequency is called the fundamental frequency. Wave frequencies that are whole-number multiples of the fundamental are called harmonics.
