In the Berkley Review it says that "Width of the pipe has no impact on the frequency of resonance waves".
Just trying to understand why?
Frequency = nv/2L for an open tube or standing wave.
But if the width of the pipe is smaller, then wouldnt the density of the particles increase? (Smaller volume, same number of particles/mass).
and the speed of a sound wave is inversely proportional to the density of the gas particles. v = root (vP/density)
What am i missing here?
