Q88 / 90 · JEE Main 2023 (12 Apr Shift 1) · Physics

For a certain organ pipe, the first three resonance frequencies are in the ratio of 1:3:5 respectively. If the frequency of fifth harmonic is 405 Hz and the speed of sound in air is 324 m s–1 the length of the organ pipe is _____ m.

Correct answer: 1

Solution

It is given,

f5=405 Hz.

As the first three resonance frequencies are in the ratio of 1:3:5, therefore it must be a closed organ pipe.

The frequency formula in a closed organ pipe is given by f=nv4l. So,

5v4I=405 Hz

⇒I=405×45×324=1 m

Hence, the correct answer is 1.
