It depends upon the frequency of the notes being played.
Its wavelengths could lie anywhere in the sound spectrum, depending upon the instrument and the artist; from 5 to 10 Hertz ( means 5 to 10 cycles [oscillations of an air wave { passage, past a point in space, by Air that is at times compressed and alternately at times rarified } ] per second ) - up to 15,000 oscillations per second, or Hertz; the approximate maximum upper limit of human auditory capacity.

What does air column mean in musical terms?
Music, like all sound is made up of sound waves traveling through the air. On a string instrument, the sound wave originates with a wave (actually many waves) on a vibrating string. Wind instruments don't have a string, and the sound you hear doesn't sound much like the vibrating reed of a woodwind or the vibrating lips of a brass players. We hear a wave that is established in the air inside the instrument. Of course, air moves through and out of an instrument, but the wave doesn't leave the instrument. A corresponding sound wave, which we hear, is created outside the instrument, but the wave inside the instrument doesn't leave the instrument any more than the wave on a string leaves the string. We need a term to describe the air that is inside the instrument - the air where the wave is established and that term is "column of air."
What is a pasiyok instrument?
Made from leaves of nipa or coconut sound is produced by blowing air on the deed.
What is the wavelength of a sound 110.5 khz?
In air at standard temperature and pressure, it's about 3.1 millimeters ...roughly 1/6 of the shortest wavelength that any human can hear in air.
What statement is true with regards to woodwind instruments?
A sound is produced in a wind instrument when a column of air vibrates inside a tube.A sound is produced when a column of air vibrates inside a tube.
The pitch of a sound is determined by its wavelength and what?
only wavelengthActually, since ultimately the pitch we hear depends on the frequency, and the frequency is equal to the speed of sound divided by the wavelength, the pitch depends on both the wavelength and the speed of sound. The speed of sound in air depends on the temperature of the air. An approximate formula for calculating the speed of sound (credit Wikipedia) is:cair = 20.0457 x sqrt( T ) m/swhere T is the kelvin temperature.
