The fundamental frequency of a closed organ pipe of length 20 cm is equal to the second overtone of an organ pipe open at both the ends. The length of organ pipe open at both the ends is [2015]
120 cm
140 cm
80 cm
100 cm
(1)
For closed organ pipe, fundamental frequency is given by
For open organ pipe, fundamental frequency is given by
overtone of open organ pipe
According to question,
Here,
The number of possible natural oscillations of air column in a pipe closed at one end of length 85 cm whose frequencies lie below 1250 Hz are (Velocity of sound = 340 m ) [2014]
4
5
7
6
(4)
Fundamental frequency of the closed organ pipe is
Here, ,
Hz
The natural frequencies of the closed organ pipe will be
and so on
Thus, the number of natural frequencies lies below 1250 Hz is 6.
