Air Columns

Air Column can be found in various musical instruments where it is enclosed with a hollow metal tube. To conserve space it is coiled upon itself several times. It is almost nearer to one meter in length. Suppose if the end of the tube is left uncovered and thus allowing the sound waves to reach it then that end is termed as an open end. Various instruments operate on the mechanism of the open-end air column that is when the end of the tube is completely uncovered.

Suppose if one of the ends of the tube is left uncovered in the surrounding atmosphere and another end of the tube is covered then it is termed as closed air column. For example some pipe organs and their column that is comprised within the orchestra. It is possible to convert open tube air columns to close tube air columns.

Standing Waves In Air Columns

It is a physical phenomenon where it provides sound and resonance in wind instruments. The standing wave present in air columns is nothing but a longitudinal wave or a transverse wave. A standing wave can be defined as a wave that remains ideal ( constant position). A longitudinal wave is parallel to the direction of propagation. A transverse wave can be defined as a wave where the flow of particles in a medium is directly perpendicular to a direction of propagation of the wave.
