Why is end correction necessary for an organ pipe?

Why is end correction necessary for an organ pipe?
Ans: When an air is set into vibration in an organ pipe, the reflection of sound waves takes place a little above the open end of the pipe. So, the length of the air column which is set into oscillation is not exactly the distance between two ends of the tube. So, to obtain accurate value, end correction is necessary for an organ pipe.
