Organ Pipes & Resonance Tube

A cylindrical tube open at both ends has fundamental frequency 'n' in air. The tube is dipped vertically in water so that one-fourth of it is in water. The fundamental frequency of the air column becomes

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. Open pipe: n=v2Ln = \frac{v}{2L}.
  2. One-fourth in water leaves a closed pipe of length 3L4\frac{3L}{4}: n′=v4(3L/4)=v3Ln' = \frac{v}{4(3L/4)} = \frac{v}{3L}.
  3. n′=23⋅v2L=2n3n' = \frac{2}{3}\cdot\frac{v}{2L} = \frac{2n}{3}
  4. So the answer is (d) 2n3\frac{2n}{3}.
