When an organ pipe, which is closed at one end only, vibrates with a frequency that is three times its fundamental frequency, it produces the third harmonic. The wavelength of the third harmonic is one-third of the wavelength of the fundamental frequency. Therefore, the sound produced has one-third its former wavelength.
