Organ Pipes & Resonance Tube
A closed organ and an open organ tube are filled by two different gases having same bulk modulus but different densities and , respectively. The frequency of th harmonic of closed tube is identical with th harmonic of open tube. If the length of the closed tube is 10 cm and the density ratio of the gases is , then the length of the open tube is:
Show answer and solution
Answer: (b)
- Closed tube 9th harmonic: ; open tube 4th harmonic:
- Equate:
- Same :
- So the answer is (b) .
