Acoustics: Characteristic Impedance (Z)
For an infinitely long pipe, with cross sectional area S and filled with a medium of density and
speed of sound c, the acoustic impedance is c/S. (See Sound: impedance, power and intensity)
So, for an infinitely long pipe with diameter 10 mm filled with air, the acoustic impedance is 5 M.
