Consider a flute: would it be best modelled by a tube open at both ends or as a tube with one end open, and one end close? What is the condition for resonance as a function of the tube length in both cases?
Sketch the displacement of molecules in a flute for the fundamental mode (1st harmonic) along with the 2nd and 3rd harmonics.
For tube that is closed at one end and open at another end, m=1 denotes 1st harmonic, m=3 denotes third harmonic, m=5 denotes fifth harmonic and so on.
