Two open pipes of lengths 65cm and 70cm respectively, are sounded simultaneously.
How many beats per second will be produced between the fundamental frequencies
of the two pipes (velocity of sound = 330 m/s)

Concept
The lowest frequency of a periodic waveform is known as the fundamental frequency, sometimes known as just the fundamental. The musical pitch of a note that is heard as the lowest partial existent in music is referred to as the fundamental.
Given
Two open pipes of lengths 65cm and 70cm respectively, are sounded simultaneously is given
Find
We have to find how many beats per second will be produced between the fundamental frequencies of the two pipes
Solution
The steps are as follow:.
- Let,
v = 330 m/s
L = 65 cm
l = 70 cm
Fundamental frequency = S₂ - S₁
Fundamental frequency = v / (2*length)
Fundamental frequency =
Fundamental frequency =
Fundamental frequency = 0.18133 x 100 Hz
Hence 0.18133 x 100 Hz will be produced between the fundamental frequencies of the two pipes
