Organ Pipes & Resonance Tube

The fundamental frequency of an air column in pipe 'A' closed at one end coincides with second overtone of pipe 'B' open at both ends. The ratio of length of pipe 'A' to that of pipe 'B' is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. Pipe A (closed) fundamental: v4LA\frac{v}{4L_A}; pipe B (open) second overtone: 3v2LB\frac{3v}{2L_B}.
  2. v4LA=3v2LB⇒LA:LB=2:12=1:6\frac{v}{4L_A} = \frac{3v}{2L_B} \Rightarrow L_A : L_B = 2 : 12 = 1 : 6
  3. So the answer is (c) 1:61:6.
