Organ Pipes & Resonance Tube

Two pipes of lengths L1L_1 and L2L_2, open at both ends are joined in series. If ' f1f_1 ' and ' f2f_2 ' are the fundamental frequencies of two pipes, then the fundamental frequency of series combination will be (neglect end correction)

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. Open pipes: L1=v2f1L_1 = \frac{v}{2f_1}, L2=v2f2L_2 = \frac{v}{2f_2}.
  2. Combined open pipe: f=v2(L1+L2)=11f1+1f2f = \frac{v}{2(L_1 + L_2)} = \frac{1}{\frac{1}{f_1} + \frac{1}{f_2}}
  3. f=f1f2f1+f2f = \frac{f_1 f_2}{f_1 + f_2}, so the answer is (c).
