Understanding Mechanical Waves and Resonance in Closed and Open Air Columns

This resource explores the principles of mechanical waves and resonance in closed and open air columns. It discusses how the longest possible resonant wavelength in a closed pipe is four times its length, while for open pipes, it is twice the length. The material includes practical examples, such as calculating the length of a closed air column resonating at a fundamental frequency of 508 Hz with a sound wave speed of 523 m/s, and determining the speed of sound in an open air column resonating at 607 Hz with a length of 89.3 cm.

  1. Energy and Mechanical Waves Air Columns

  2. Mechanical Resonance http://www.enm.bris.ac.uk/research/nonlinear/tacoma/tacnarr.mpg

  3. In a closed pipe the longest possible resonant wavelength is four times the length of the pipe Length of A closed Air Column

  4. OPEN AIR COLUMNS • In an open pipe, the longest possible resonant wavelength is twice the length of the pipe

  5. 1. A closed air column resonates with a fundamental frequency of 508 Hz. What is the length of the air column if the speed of the sound wave is 523 m/s? Examples:

  6. 2. An opened air column resonates with a fundamental frequency of 607 Hz. If the length of the air column is 89.3 cm, what is the speed of the sound?
