To find the greatest length of an organ pipe open at both ends that will have its fundamental frequency in the normal hearing range (20-20,000 Hz), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between length and wavelength For an organ pipe open at both ends, the fundamental frequency (first harmonic) has a wavelength (λ) that is twice the length (L) of the pipe. This can be expressed as: \[ L = \frac{\lambda}{2} \] Thus, we can rearrange this to find the wavelength: \[ \lambda = 2L \] ...
