1.	If a flute sounds a note with 450 Hz , what are the frequencies of the second , third , and fourth harmonics of this pitch ? If the clarinet sounds with a same note as 450 Hz , then what are the frequencies of the lowest three harmonics produced ?
Answer» Solution :For a FLUTE which is an OPEN PIPE , we have Second harmonics `"" f_(2) = 2f_(1) = 900` Hz THIRD harmonics `"" f_(3) = 3 f_(1) = 1350` Hz Fourth harmonics `"" f_4 = 4 f_1 = 1800` Hz For a clarinet which is a closed pipe , we have Second harmonics `"" f_(2) = 3f_(1) = 1350` Hz Third harmonics `"" f_(3) = 5f_(1) = 2250` Hz Fourth harmonics `"" f_(4) = 7 f_(1) = 3150` Hz
