How sounds of different frequencies are produced by opening or closing the different holes of a flute ?

Answer»

Solution :A fine acts as pipe open at the ends. Resonance OCCURS when ever there is a pressure NODE at both ends. Therefore, the STANDING waves with all the holes closed corresponds to a half-wavelength or the lowest mode. Opening a finger hole acoustically SHORTENS the TUBE by releasing the pressure (pressure node) before the open end, thereby changing the length of the standing waves and its pitch.
