On a panpipes the longest pipe has the hightest pitch?
The shorter the pipe the higher the pitch. Conversely the longer the pipe the lower the pitch.
Does the width of a tube effect the sound produced?
The width of a cylindrical tube helps to support the production of pitches and allows for more power in the sound, but it has no affect on the pitch of the tube at all. There is an exception to this rule, but for most purposes, it can be presumed that two cylindrical tubes (pipes) of the same length and different diameters will sound the same pitch.The canonical definition of the pitch of a tube is based on organ pipes. A cylindrical organ pipe can be open (unstopped at both ends) or stopped at one end. (Stopped infers that the vibrations in the tube do not cause vibration at the stop point, which can be achieved by a wall at that end of the tube. Generally, a flute-type of pipe is considered open at both ends or closed at the 'far' end, since the 'near' end is where the wind enters and excites the vibrations in the tube. A reed pipe is considered closed at the entry of the tube, and must be open at the other end, or sound won't come out of it at all!)For an open pipe, vibrations occur at the entry to the tube (where the incoming air excites the vibrations) and the other end (where the vibration couples to the air, and can be heard.) Physics requires that the center of the vibrating air column be a node, where there is no vibration, and the open pipe is said to "vibrate its length". A flue pipe which is closed at the far end has an enforced node at that end, and the entire length of the tube vibrates, so it "sounds twice its length".The flute is an example of an open pipe, the clarinet (which sounds an octave lower for the same length) is a closed cylinder. There is another effect in closed cylindrical pipes: they overblow on odd harmonics, and have no even harmonics, or very little of them, in their tone. (Which is another whole question to be answered elsewhere.)So for a cylindrical pipe, i.e., 'tube', the width of the pipe has no effect on the pitch of the tube. It does have an effect on the strength of the vibration, and may have to be a certain width for that pitch to be formed at all. But the width doesn't change the pitch.For a conical pipe, where the width of the bore increases from one end, the effect is that the pipe sounds its length whether it is open or closed: this is why an oboe and a flute sound the same pitches for the same length of tubing, even though the oboe is conical and the flute is (mostly) cylindrical.Now, here is the one exception to the width having no effect on pitch of a tube: if you have a tube which is 'mildly conical' for most of its length, and then, at the output end, has a 'sudden flare', a great increase in widening over a short space, the actual pitch of the tube is lowered slightly. This effect is seen (when carefully observed) in the Bassoon and some brass instruments.
What does pipe length determine in the organ?
Pitch. Longer = lower
Is it harder to tune an ukulele by pitch pipe or tuner?
It depends on the individual and whether they are a visual or audio person. I think it is harder to do it with a pitch pipe. But part of it will depend on your 'ear' and how good it is musically.
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.
On a panpipes the longest pipe has the hightest pitch?
The shorter the pipe the higher the pitch. Conversely the longer the pipe the lower the pitch.
What is the diameter of a pipe?
The diameter of a pipe is its width across an open end of the pipe. The inside diameter is the width measuring on the inside of the pipe; the outside diameter is the width measuring on the outside.______________________________________________________________________________________________________For a pipe of circular cross section, its nominal diameter is the diameter of the cross section.The inner diameter is the measuring on the inside of the pipeThe outside diameter is the measuring on the outside of the pipe.
Why do organs have big pipe and small pipe?
Pitch is directly proportional to the size of the pipe.
How do we calculate 700metre pipe volume?
This cannot be done without knowing both the width and length of pipe.
What does diameter measure?
The width of a circle such as a cross view of a pipe.
What is the difference in a guitar pitch pipe and an ukulele pitch pipe?
The number of notes and the ones they have. Guitar will have 6 notes and an ukulele will have 4.

Used to tune brass instruments to a common pitch?
A pitch pipe.
How do you calculate volume of water in a pipe?
measure the radius of the pipe. (half the diameter - the width of the pipe) then measure the length of the pipe. then use the formula pi (3.14) x radius2 x length. the answer is the volume in the pipe
How can doubling the width of a rectangular rug affect the perimeter and area?
Doubling the width of a rectangular rug will affect the perimeter because the total length and width will be doubled. The area will be twice the length times the width.
What is width of cricket pitch?
10 feet (3.05 meter) width & 22yards (20m) Length
How does the length of a pipe affect pitch?
The sound produced by a pipe is due to standing waves that are formed in the body of the pipe. The fundamental frequency,f1, produced, is given by the formula : f1=v/2L , where v is the velocity of the wave and depends only on the physical characteristics of the mean (e.g. air density), and L is the length of the pipe. So if the length increases the frequency decreases.
