There is an indirect relationship between length and frequency. The longer the length the pipe has, the higher frequency it is. The shorter the length the pipe has, the lower frequency it is.

Explanation:

The four properties of the string that affect its frequency are length, diameter, tension, and density. These properties are described below: When the length of a string is changed, it will vibrate with a different frequency. Shorter strings have higher frequency and therefore higher pitch.

The longer the tube is the lower the pitch of the note that it can emit. When a tube is heated it expands and so is longer! As the gas in the tube gets warmer the molecules move faster, that means they can carry the vibrations of the sound wave more rapidly and so the pitch goes up.
