Palm Pipe Lab

In this lab, we determined the musical notes that our palm pipes produced. First, we measured the length and diameter of our palm pipes and converted our measurements from cm to m. Second, we solved for wavelength: L=1/4(wavelength) - 1/4(diameter). After finding wavelength we then solved for frequency: V=(wavelength)(frequency). After finding our "peak" frequency, we then plugged it in to Wolfram Alpha to help us determine our musical note.
