Q50 / 117 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Physics · Waves and Sound

A pipe closed at one end has length 83 cm. The number of possible natural oscillations of air column whose frequencies lie below 1000 Hz are (velocity of sound in air =332 m s-1)

  • A
    3
  • B
    4
  • Correct answer
    C
    5
  • D
    6

Solution

Fundamental frequency

n= V 4L = 332 4×83× 10 −2 =100 .

Hence possible frequencies are n=100 .

n 1 =300.

n 2 =500.

n 3 =700.

n 5 =900.
 

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
