Organ Pipes & Resonance Tube

A pipe open at both ends and a pipe closed at one end have same length. The ratio of frequencies of their ppth overtone is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. Open pipe ppth overtone = (p+1)(p+1)th harmonic: (p+1)v2L\frac{(p+1)v}{2L}.
  2. Closed pipe ppth overtone = (2p+1)(2p+1)th harmonic: (2p+1)v4L\frac{(2p+1)v}{4L}.
  3. Ratio =(p+1)/2(2p+1)/4=2(p+1)2p+1= \frac{(p+1)/2}{(2p+1)/4} = \frac{2(p+1)}{2p+1}
  4. So the answer is (c) 2(p+1)2p+1\frac{2(p+1)}{2p+1}.
