Q109 / 180 · NEET 2016 (Phase 2) · Physics
The second overtone of an open organ pipe has the same frequency as the first overtone of a closed pipe which is meter long. The length of the open pipe will be
- A
- Correct answerB
- C
- D
Solution
Let the length of open organ pipe be $L'$.
Frequency of second overtone of open organ pipe is given as, , where is speed of sound in air.
Frequency of first overtone of closed pipe is given as, .
According to question,
.
Hence, length of open organ pipe must be twice the length of closed organ pipe.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
