16.30 » Singing in the Shower. A pipe closed at both ends can
have standing waves inside of it, but you normally don't hear
them because little of the sound ean get out, But you can hear
them if you are inside the pipe, such as someone singing in the
shower, (@) Show that the wavelengths of standing waves in a pipe
of length £ that is closed at both ends are Ay = 2L/n and the fre-
quencies are given by fy af, where n= 12,3,
(by Modeling it as a pipe, find the frequency of the fundamental
and the first two overtones for a shower 2,60 m tall. Are these
frequencies audible?

frequency 1.70 kHz. This bat hears its own sound plus the sound
reflected by the wall, How fast should the bat fly in order to hear a
