Organ Pipes & Resonance Tube

A tuning fork of frequency 'nn' is held near the open end of tube which is closed at the other end and the lengths are adjusted until resonance occurs. The first resonance occurs at length L1L_1 and immediate next resonance occurs at length L2L_2. The speed of sound in air is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. First two resonances: L1+e=λ4L_1 + e = \frac{\lambda}{4}, L2+e=3λ4L_2 + e = \frac{3\lambda}{4}.
  2. Subtract: L2−L1=λ2⇒λ=2(L2−L1)L_2 - L_1 = \frac{\lambda}{2} \Rightarrow \lambda = 2(L_2 - L_1).
  3. v=nλ=2n(L2−L1)v = n\lambda = 2n(L_2 - L_1)
  4. So the answer is (c) 2n(L2−L1)2n(L_2 - L_1).
