A pipe organ is an aerophone with open ended tubes, with esssentially the same physics as the flute. (a) for normal room temperature, where the speed of sound is about 340 m/s how long is the pipe for the A440 note. (b) Suppose someone wanted to install an outdoor pipe organ at the South Pole that would be in tune when the temperature is -80 degrees Celcius. How long would the pipe be for the A440 note for that organ?
For A do I just use the equation wavelength= frequency x velocity and get 149,600 meters or how would I find the outdoor pipe organ length?
