Organ Pipes & Resonance Tube

When an air column in a pipe open at both ends vibrates such that four antinodes and three nodes are formed, then the corresponding mode of vibration is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. An open pipe in the pp-th harmonic has pp nodes and p+1p+1 antinodes.
  2. 3 nodes, 4 antinodes ⇒p=3\Rightarrow p=3, the third harmonic.
  3. Third harmonic = second overtone, so the answer is (b).
