What is the significance of stationary waves formed in pipe organs?

Krishna (last edited 3 years ago) (Expert, Educator @Qalaxia)

Every pressure wave produces a sound of some kind. But we call those kinds of sounds noise. If you want a clear, pure tone, then you need a resonator to amplify the “good” parts of the sound and suppress the “bad” parts. That’s what an organ pipe or a vibrating string is: a resonator. The standing wave represents the wavelength that the resonator is tuned to accept and reinforce.
