Two organ pipes closed at one end have the same diameters but different lengths. Show that the end correction at each end is e = `(n_1l_1 - n_2l_2)/(n_2 - n_1)`, where the symbols have their usual meanings. Take `γ = 5/3`.

Two wires, each 1 m long and of the same diameter, have densities 8 × 10³ kg/m³ and 2 × 10³ kg/m³ and are stretched by tensions 196 N and 49 N respectively. Compare their fundamental frequencies.

Prove that for pipe closed at one end, the end correction is `e = (n_2l_2-n_1l_1)/(n_1-n_2)`
