Organ Pipes & Resonance Tube

A pipe open at both ends has a fundamental frequency ff in air. The pipe is dipped vertically in water so that half of it is in water. The fundamental frequency of the air column is now:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. Open pipe: f=v2Lf = \frac{v}{2L}.
  2. Half in water leaves a closed pipe of length L2\frac{L}{2}: f′=v4(L/2)=v2Lf' = \frac{v}{4(L/2)} = \frac{v}{2L}.
  3. So the answer is (b) ff.
