Practice question

**Air column vibrations** depend on end conditions. Pipe closed at one end has displacement node at closed end and antinode at open, allowing only odd harmonics, fundamental f₁ = v/(4L). Open pipe has antinodes at both ends, fₙ = n·v/(2L), all harmonics present, v sound speed. Fundamental: v₁ = (v/4L) . v₁ = (350/4 × 0.35) = (350/1.4) = 250 Hz . Using v = fλ and standing-wave condition fₙ = n v/(2L) or v/(4L) as applicable, calculation yields 250 Hz, illustrating frequency-length-speed interdependence and quantization by boundaries.
