Sound - Open Pipes

Question 1

open pipes

Answer 1

• There are two main categories of pipes that create standing waves. “Open Pipes” are open at both ends. “Closed Pipes” are closed at one end, and open on the other end. Open Pipes and Closed Pipes can both create standing waves, but the pattern of frequencies is different.
• In open pipes, the frequencies that make standing waves fit the same pattern as standing waves in a string.
