Wavelength and End Correction in a Recorder

Abstract

The wavelength and end correction was investigated as a function of the tube length of a recorder over a range of frequencies. It was found that the period of the sound produced varies linearly with the recorder’s tube length, as expected. It was also found that the end correction does not vary as a function of frequency. However, the end correction at the hole was found to be much greater than the end correction at the end of a resonating tube.
