Organ Pipes & Resonance Tube

An open organ pipe having fundamental frequency (n) is in unison with a vibrating string. If the tube is dipped in water so that 75%75\% of the length of the tube is inside the water then the ratio of fundamental frequency of the air column of dipped tube with that of string will be (Neglect end corrections)

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. Open pipe: n=v2Ln = \frac{v}{2L} = string frequency.
  2. Dipped 75%: closed pipe of length L4\frac{L}{4}, fundamental =v4⋅L/4=vL=2n= \frac{v}{4 \cdot L/4} = \frac{v}{L} = 2n.
  3. Ratio 2n:n=2:12n : n = 2 : 1
  4. So the answer is (b) 2:12:1.
