Organ Pipes & Resonance Tube

If the length of an open organ pipe is 33.3 cm33.3\text{ cm}, then the frequency of fifth overtone is [Neglect end correction, velocity of sound =333 m/s= 333\text{ m/s} ]

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. Fundamental n=v2L=3332×0.333=500 Hzn=\frac{v}{2L}=\frac{333}{2\times0.333}=500\text{ Hz}.
  2. Fifth overtone of an open pipe is the 6th harmonic: 6×5006\times500.
  3. 3000 Hz3000\text{ Hz}, so the answer is (b).
