Can anyone provide a simple formula whereby I can calculate the
acoustic resonance of a physical object if its length is given in mm?

Thank you,

Harry Lang

Yes, lookup the velocity of sound in the object's material.
You can calculate the resonant frequency from the velocity
divided by the object's size. If sound can find different
path lengths through your object, to reflecting surfaces,
it can form multiple resonant modes. Sound reflections
occur wherever there's an acoustic impedance change.

Oops... Yes.


V
f = ---------
2 (lE3)

Where f is the resonant frequency of the object in the length
direction, in Hertz, V is the velocity of sound in the medium the
object is made from, in meters per second, and l is the length of
the object in millimeters.

Oops again...
