Organ Pipes & Resonance Tube

A closed organ pipe of length 'L1L_1' and an open organ pipe contain diatomic gases of densities 'ρ1\rho_1 ' and 'ρ2\rho_2' respectively. The compressibilities of the gases are same in both pipes, which are vibrating in their first overtone with same frequency. The length of the open organ pipe is (Neglect end correction)

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. Speed v=Bρv = \sqrt{\frac{B}{\rho}}; same BB, so v2v1=ρ1ρ2\frac{v_2}{v_1} = \sqrt{\frac{\rho_1}{\rho_2}}
  2. Closed pipe first overtone: 3v14L1\frac{3v_1}{4L_1}; open pipe first overtone: v2Lo\frac{v_2}{L_o}
  3. Equate: Lo=4L13v2v1=4L13ρ1ρ2L_o = \frac{4L_1}{3}\frac{v_2}{v_1} = \frac{4L_1}{3}\sqrt{\frac{\rho_1}{\rho_2}}
  4. So the answer is (b).
