Problem

A string 1.20 m1.20\,\text{m} long, fixed at both ends, produces a frequency of 300 Hz300\,\text{Hz} in its third harmonic. The string is replaced by an air column in an open organ pipe that is required to produce the same frequency in its fundamental mode. The speed of sound in air is 330 m s−1330\,\text{m\,s}^{-1}. a. Calculate the length of the organ pipe needed.
