A clarinet behaves like a tube closed at one?

Question

A clarinet behaves like a tube closed at one
end.
The velocity of sound is 344 m/s :
If its length is 1.9 m, what is its fundamen-
tal frequency? Answer in units of H

answer in hz not h!!!

im not sure if i should use this formula
f=nv/4L

Answer 1

The formula is F=V/4L

Wish I could help you calculate that but I just play things, never had to design one. ☺

I think it's 45.26Hz where F=344/(1.9*4) but this assumes I understand what we're doing here. I do know the formula F=V/4L is standard but I remember something about wavelengths here that I'm not sure I remember.

Add: a 1.9 meter clarinet is HUGE. That's a 6.23 foot tube. I'm thinking that's a bigger clarinet than anyone here has. My contrabass is close but I'm not thinking over 6'

Answer 2

Sorry, I played the b-flat clarinet and only learned the notes A-G....don't know about H LOL!

If that is a B-flat clarinet, does the key of the instrument have anything to do with the frequency? If so, at what frequency does a middle B-Flat produce?

I'm not a physics study, but if I read this right, I see a B-Flat as 233 Hz? (see the second link)

If another type clarinet, the frequency may vary.

Update: 1.9 meters???? Not even a bass clarinet is that long!!! Who is playing it, Michael Jordan? Standing up???

Answer 3

Do u want the truth or a pretty good guess? lol uhm 250H
