FROM WIKIPEDIA. I did not write ANY OF THIS.

he fundamental frequency, often referred to simply as the fundamental, is defined as the lowest frequency of a periodicwaveform. In terms of a superposition of sinusoids (e.g. Fourier series), the fundamental frequency is the lowest frequency sinusoidal in the sum. In some contexts, the fundamental [1][2][3] is usually abbreviated as f0 (or FF), indicating the lowest frequencycounting from zero. In other [4][5][6][7][8] contexts, it is more common to abbreviate it as f1, the first harmonic. (The second harmonic is then f2 = 2f1, etc. In this context, the zeroth harmonic would be 0 Hz.) All sinusoidal and many non-sinusoidal waveforms are periodic, which is to say they repeat exactly over time. A single period is thus the smallest repeating unit of a signal, and one period describes the signal completely. We can show a waveform is periodic by finding some period T for which the following equation is true:

Where x(t) is the function of the waveform. This means that for multiples of some period T the value of the signal is always the same. The least possible value of T for which this is true is called the fundamental period and the fundamental frequency (f0) is:

[citation needed]

Where f0 is the fundamental frequency and T is the fundamental period. The fundamental frequency of a sound wave in a tube with a single CLOSED end can be found using the following equation:

L can be found using the following equation:

(lambda) can be found using the following equation:

The fundamental frequency of a sound wave in a tube with either BOTH ends OPEN or CLOSED can be found using the following equation:

L can be found using the following equation:

The wavelength, which is the distance in the medium between the beginning and end of a cycle, is found using the following equation:

Where: f0 = fundamental frequency L = length of the tube v = wave velocity of the sound wave = wavelength At 20 C (68 F) the speed of sound in air is 343 m/s (1129 ft/s). This speed is temperature dependent and does increase at a rate of 0.6 m/s for each degree Celsius increase in temperature (1.1 ft/s for every increase of 1 F). The velocity of a sound wave at different temperatures: v = 343.2 m/s at 20 C v = 331.3 m/s at 0 C
