Answer

$f = 840~Hz$

Work Step by Step

We can write an expression for the harmonic frequencies of a pipe with one open end: $f = \frac{nv}{4L},~~$ where $~~n = 1,3,5,...$ Note that the difference between each successive harmonic frequency is $2f_1$ where $f_1$ is the fundamental frequency. We can find the difference in the frequency of successive harmonics: $\Delta f = 1320~Hz-1080~Hz = 240~Hz$ We can find the next highest harmonic frequency after $600~Hz$: $f = 600~Hz+240~Hz = 840~Hz$
