Question
The world's longest organ pipe, in the Boardwalk Hall Auditorium in Atlantic City, is 64 feet long. What is the fundamental frequency of this open-open pipe?
Step 1
We know that 1 foot is approximately equal to 0.3048 meters. Therefore, the length of the organ pipe in meters is given by: \[ L = 64 \times 0.3048 = 19.51 \, \text{meters} \] Show more…

How long is an open organ pipe with a fundamental frequency of $493.88 \mathrm{Hz} ?$
One of the largest organ pipes is in the auditorium the convention hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The pipe is 38.6 ft long and produces sound with a wavelength of about 10.6 m. If the speed of sound in air is 346 m/s, what is the frequency of this sound?
The longest pipe found in most medium-size pipe organs is 4.88 m (16 ft) long. What is the frequency of the note corresponding to the fundamental mode if the pipe is (a) open at both ends, (b) open at one end and closed at the other?
