Fundamental Frequency of Open and Closed Tube

AI Thread Summary
A tube closed at one end and open at the other has a fundamental frequency of 242 Hz, calculated using the formula f (open and closed) = v/4L. The length of the tube is determined to be 0.354 m. For a tube that is open at both ends, the fundamental frequency is calculated using f (open) = v/2L, resulting in a frequency of 484 Hz. The calculations and results presented are confirmed as correct. This demonstrates the relationship between tube length and fundamental frequency in different configurations.

Homework Statement



A tube closed at one end and open at the other has a fundamental frequency of 242 Hz. What is the fundamental whenboth are open?

Homework Equations



f (open and closed) = v/4L
f (open) = v/2L
v sound = 343 m/s

The Attempt at a Solution



f1 (open and closed) = v/4L = 242Hz = 343/4L

L = .354 m

f (open) = v /2L = 343/ 2(.354m) = 484 Hz

Does this look OK?

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...

Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'

The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
