Answer

The fundamental frequency of Pipe B is $~~143~Hz$

Work Step by Step

We can use the information about pipe A to find the frequency: $f = \frac{nv}{2L},~~$ where $~~n = 3$ $f = \frac{(3)(343~m/s)}{(2)(1.20~m)}$ $f = 428.75~Hz$ We can find the length of Pipe B: $f = \frac{3v}{4L} = 428.75~Hz$ $L = \frac{3v}{(4)(428.75~Hz)}$ $L = \frac{(3)(343~m/s)}{(4)(428.75~Hz)}$ $L = 0.60~m$ We can find the fundamental frequency of Pipe B: $f = \frac{(1)(v)}{4L}$ $f = \frac{(1)(343~m/s)}{(4)(0.60~m)}$ $f = 143~Hz$ The fundamental frequency of Pipe B is $~~143~Hz$
