Good day, gentlemen!
A friend of mine asked me a question - he is making a project regarding the influence of the cavity shape on the spectrum of acoustic waves produced after "blowing" into this pipe. You know, many national instruments are based on a principle of the usual pipe.
Actually, the goal of the project is a creation of a software that will simulate any musical instrument...
Well, starting up with a simple model, let's consider a tube - open from both ends. we blow in one end, and the tube produces certain sound. He states (he measured/analysed the spectrum) that the produced frequencies depend linearly on the length of the tube. e.i. actually, the waves only of such wave lengthes appear, that have nodes/peaks on the endpoints of the pipe.
does it make any sense?
can you just give a brief explanation on the phenomenon?
i have my own ideas regarding this specific pipe case, but surely it's better to hear yours also ;)
Thanks in advance!
