A tuba may be treated like a tube closed at one end. If a tuba has a fundamental frequency of 40.4 Hz, determine the first three overtones. Use 343 m/s as the speed of sound in air.

If the speed of sound is 337 m/s, determine the length of an open tube (open at both ends) that has a fundamental frequency of 233 Hz and a first overtone frequency of 466 Hz.

    fundamental frequency at closed pipe = 40.4 Hz

    overtones are odd harmonics in closed pipe

    first three overtones are

    3 x 40.4, 5 x 40.4, 7 x 40.4 Hz

    = 121.2 Hz, 202 Hz, 282.8 Hz.

    speed of sound given is 337, fundamental frequency is 233 Hz

    wavelength = velocity of sound / frequency

    = 337 / 233

    = 1.446 m

    for fundamental note in open pipe

    wavelength / 2 = length of tube

    length of tube = 1.446 / 2

    =.723 m

    = 72.30 cm.

    first overtone will be two times the fundamental ie 466. In open pipe all the harmonics are found, ie both odd and even.
