Organ Pipes & Resonance Tube

The 44th overtone of a closed organ pipe is same as that of 33rd overtone of an open pipe. The ratio of the length of the closed pipe to the length of the open pipe is:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. Closed pipe 4th overtone = 9th harmonic: 9v4Lc\frac{9v}{4L_c}.
  2. Open pipe 3rd overtone = 4th harmonic: 4v2Lo=2vLo\frac{4v}{2L_o} = \frac{2v}{L_o}.
  3. 9v4Lc=2vLo⇒Lc:Lo=9:8\frac{9v}{4L_c} = \frac{2v}{L_o} \Rightarrow L_c : L_o = 9 : 8
  4. So the answer is (c) 9:89:8.
