The resonant frequency produced by each pipe depends on the speed of sound c divided by either 2 x the pipe length L (if it is open on both ends) or 4 x the pipe length L (if it is closed on one end).
So f = c / (2 x L) or
f = c / (4 x L)
c is the speed of sound, usually at 20°C = 343 m/s.
But in either case, if the speed of sound (c) changes, the frequency (f) will also change.
c = λ x f
λ = wavelength
Higher temperature = faster speed of sound = higher frequency.
lower temperature = slower speed of sound = lower frequency.

How do rain sticks change pitch?
Rain sticks change pitch based on the speed at which the seeds or beads inside fall through the spiral tube. Faster falling leads to higher pitch and slower falling leads to lower pitch. Tipping the rain stick at different angles can also affect the pitch by varying the rate of the falling seeds or beads.
Why does tuning a bagpipe change in cold weather please help?
Due to a number of factors. The speed of sound in air changes as a function of ambient temperature. Also, wood constricts in the cold and this will change the vibrating frequency and resonance of the wooden reeds and the drones.
Which is the most viscous substance on earth?
Pitch, a derivative of petroleum, is considered the most viscous substance on earth. It has a viscosity of billions of times that of water at room temperature.
How does frequency affect the pitch of sound?
In my book the pitch of sound is the frequency. Musicians have different names for pitch, like middle C or F sharp, but they all correspond to certain frequencies.The answer above is not correct it is totally unsenceable
What do cricket chirps help find?
Female crickets use the chirps of males to locate potential mates. The pitch, frequency, and tempo of the chirps provide information on the male's size and fitness, helping the female choose a suitable partner for mating.
What musical instrument has the lowest pitch and lowest frequency?
The musical instrument with the lowest pitch and lowest frequency is the pipe organ, specifically when using its largest pipes, known as the 64-foot pipes. These pipes can produce frequencies as low as 16 Hz, which is below the threshold of human hearing. Other instruments like the contrabassoon or bass guitar have low registers, but none can match the extreme low frequencies of the largest pipe organ pipes.
What makes the sound in a organ?
An organ produces sound by passing air through pipes of different sizes and shapes. When a key is pressed, a valve opens and allows air into the corresponding pipe, creating a specific pitch. The sound is then amplified by the organ's unique design and architecture.
Does the temperature of water affect the pitch of sound?
Presumably you mean sound traveling through water. Temperature affects the density of water, therefore the speed of sound in water, and pitch is frequency, so yes, temperature affects pitch.
Does temperature affect an electric guitar's sound?
If the temperature goes up, the pitch of the sound goes up too.
How do a flute and organ pipes produce sound?
The shape and design of the pipes determine what the nature of their sound will be. There are two basic types of organ pipe; flue and reed. Flue pipes are, in a simplified explanation, whistles - no moving parts. Reed pipes have a brass tongue much like you would find in a harmonica. The tongue is mounted at the base of a pipe or resonator. Reeds and flues make distinctly different sounds. Pipes may be made of metal or wood. Think of all the different variations that one can make to a simple, cylindrical pipe; Wide, narrow, open or closed, flared towards the top or tapering towards the top, poke a hole in it, cut a slot, mount a little chimney on it. These make for the tonal variations between different types of pipes. Now, these my be further used in groups - Additive Synthesis. Furthermore, different stops speak at different pitch levels allowing for still more variation.
How does the temperature change the sound pitch?
Temperature can affect sound pitch by altering the speed of sound waves in the air. In warmer temperatures, sound waves travel faster, resulting in a higher pitch. Conversely, in colder temperatures, sound waves travel slower, leading to a lower pitch.
Why does the pipe organ make the highest noise?
You mean pitch. Noise is unwanted sound. Well, it doesn't - not since the advent of electronic instruments. But before that it was a simple matter to make small pipes that go well above the pitch that can be produced by any other instrument.
Can the pitch be changed on a pan pipes?
probably, probably not
What vibrates in the electric keyboard piano?
The sound is created by air passing through pipes. There are two main classes of organ pipes; flue pipes and reed pipes. Flue pipes are like whistles. There are no moving parts. There are both open and closed (stopped) flue pipes. Reed pipes produce their sound with a thin brass tongue that vibrates against a tube with a closed end called a shallot. This is attached to a larger pipe called a resonator. Depending on the shape of the pipe and the metal combinations used during the manufacturing of the organ pipe, various types of sound will be heard. Each pipe is tuned to a certain pitch ... middle A for instance is tuned (under ideal conditions) to 440 Hz, or 440 cycles per second.
What is the largest pipe called in a pipe organ?
It depends on the organ. Each one is different. The largest are more than 64' long, but there are only two organs in existence with pipes that large. Each set of pipes, or ranks, has a theoretical number assigned to it to indicate the length of the lowest pipe of that rank. These numbers correspond only to the length of open pipes. Stopped pipes (closed at the top) sound approximately one octave lower than open pipes of the same length. Generally, the longest pipe in the average church organ is low C of the 16' Bourdon - which actually measures slightly more than 8'. Larger organs will sometimes have open ranks of that pitch, the lowest measuring around 17' to 18' - the extra foot or two being taken up by the lower portion - the "foot" and / or "false length" at the top on pipes that are "slot tuned" or facade pipes that need extra length for aesthetic purposes.
How does the pitch of a sound affect its speed?
The pitch of a sound, which is determined by its frequency, does not affect its speed. The speed of sound in air at room temperature is roughly 343 meters per second. This speed is independent of the pitch of the sound wave.
Why are the pipes on a church organ all different lengths?
The differing lengths of pipes are what allow the organ to produce different pitches. Pitch (frequency) is directly related to pipe length. The longer the pipe the lower the pitch. This gives rise to the standard organ terminology that tells the performer at what pitch level a stop (or set of pipes) will sound. This is determined by the theoretical length of the lowest pipe in a particular stop. An 8-foot stop produces notes of unison pitch (on the manual keyboards - 16' for the pedal keyboard). A 4-foot stop produces pitches an octave higher than unison. A 2-foot stop is 2 octaves above unison. A 16-foot stop is one octave below unison, etc.
