The following functions give successive approximations to the displacement curve for a single tone played on a organ pipe. Clicking on the buttons will load an audio file to play the given tone. The fundamental is played at a frequency of 261 cycles per second (middle C). Note that each audio file is 41k, and so may take a moment to download the first time you play it.
