Q117 / 180 · NEET 2014 · Physics

The number of possible natural oscillations of air column in a pipe closed at one end of length 85 cm whose frequencies lies below 1250 Hz are: (velocity of sound =340 ms-1)

  • A
    4
  • B
    5
  • C
    7
  • Correct answer
    D
    6

Solution

Fundamental frequency of a closed organ pipe is f1=V4l=3404×0.85=100 Hz
The natural frequencies of the organ pipe will be f=100 Hz, 300 Hz, 500 Hz, 700 Hz, 900 Hz, 1100 Hz which are below 1250 Hz

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