Organ Pipes & Resonance Tube

The fundamental frequency of a closed organ pipe is equal to the first overtone frequency of an open organ pipe. If length of the open pipe is 60 cm60\text{ cm}, the length of the closed pipe will be:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. First overtone of open pipe: 2v2Lo=vLo\frac{2v}{2L_o}=\frac{v}{L_o}. Closed fundamental: v4Lc\frac{v}{4L_c}.
  2. v4Lc=vLo⇒Lc=Lo4=604\frac{v}{4L_c}=\frac{v}{L_o} \Rightarrow L_c=\frac{L_o}{4}=\frac{60}{4}
  3. Lc=15 cmL_c=15\text{ cm}, so the answer is (a).
