(16-43) A bugle is simply a tube of fixed length that behaves as if it is open at both ends. A bugler, by adjusting his lips correctly and blowing with proper air pressure, can cause a harmonic (usually other than the fundamental) of the air column within the tube to sound loudly. Standard military tunes like Taps and Reveille require only four musical notes: G4 (392 Hz), C5 (523 Hz), E5 (659 Hz), and G5 (784 Hz).(a) For a certain length l, a bugle will have a sequence of four consecutive harmonics whose frequencies very nearly equal those associated with the notes G4, C5, E5, and G5. Determine this l. (b) Which harmonic is each of the (approximate) notes G4, C5, E5, and G5 for the bugle?
