Organ Pipes & Resonance Tube

End correction at open end for air column in a pipe of length 'll' is 'ee'. For its second overtone of an open pipe, the wavelength of the wave is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. An open pipe has end correction at both ends: effective length =l+2e= l + 2e.
  2. Second overtone = 3rd harmonic: l+2e=3λ2l + 2e = \frac{3\lambda}{2}.
  3. λ=2(l+2e)3\lambda = \frac{2(l + 2e)}{3}
  4. So the answer is (b) 2(l+2e)3\frac{2(l+2e)}{3}.
