17.4 Exercise 7

Avg difficulty 2.5

Two identical columns, open at both ends, are in separate rooms. In room A, the temperature is T=20°CT = 20 ° \text{C} and in room B, the temperature is T=25°CT = 25 ° \text{C}. A speaker is attached to the end of each tube, causing the tubes to resonate at the fundamental frequency. Is the frequency the same for both tubes? Which has the higher frequency?
