(N/A) For a pipe closed at one end and open at the other,the boundary conditions require a node at the closed end and an antinode at the open end.
Let $L$ be the length of the pipe and $v$ be the speed of sound in air.
The wavelength $\lambda_n$ of the $n$-th harmonic is given by $\lambda_n = \frac{4L}{n}$,where $n = 1, 3, 5, \dots$ (only odd harmonics).
The frequency $f_n$ of the $n$-th normal mode is given by $f_n = \frac{v}{\lambda_n} = \frac{nv}{4L}$ for $n = 1, 3, 5, \dots$.

The first overtone frequency of a closed pipe of length $l_{1}$ is equal to the $2^{\text{nd}}$ harmonic frequency of an open pipe of length $l_{2}$. The ratio $\frac{l_{1}}{l_{2}}$ is:

At $23^{\circ} C$,a pipe open at both ends resonates at a frequency of $450 \,Hz$. At what frequency does the same pipe resonate on a hot day when the speed of sound is $4 \%$ higher than it would be at $23^{\circ} C$ (in $,Hz$)?

$A$ pipe open at both ends and a pipe closed at one end have the same length. The ratio of the frequencies of their $P^{\text{th}}$ overtone is:

$A$ resonance tube is old and has a jagged end. It is still used in the laboratory to determine the velocity of sound in air. $A$ tuning fork of frequency $512\,Hz$ produces the first resonance when the tube is filled with water to a mark $11\,cm$ below a reference mark,near the open end of the tube. The experiment is repeated with another fork of frequency $256\,Hz$,which produces the first resonance when water reaches a mark $27\,cm$ below the reference mark. The velocity of sound in air,obtained in the experiment,is close to .... $ms^{-1}$
