Question

1) A clarinet and flute happen to have air columns of the samelength. Explain the difference between the pitch of the clarinet'snote and the pitch of the flute's note. How do the standing wavesin the clarinet 'pipe' and in the flute 'pipe' differ, in terms oftheir wavelengths and frequencies?
2) Suppose a flute and a clarinet are each producing a note. Bothnotes are of the same pitch. How do the lengths of their aircolumns differ? 3) Even when the flute and clarinet produce notes of the samepitch, they still have very different sounds. Thinking aboutharmonics, can you explain this difference? Thanks. 1) A clarinet and flute happen to have air columns of the samelength.

Before the questions that I asked, there was this statement:"At the simplest level, a clarinet behaves like a pipe with oneclosed end and one open end, while a flute behaves like a pipe openat both ends. "
