When an open organ is dipped in water upto half of its height, then its frequency will become
- Ahalf
- Bdouble
- Correct answerCremain same
- Dfour time
Solution
Frequency of open organ pipe is double than that of closed pipe.
If frequency of open pipe $=n$
$\therefore$ Frequency of closed pipe $=\frac{n}{2}$
On inserting an open pipe into water upto half of its height, it will behave like a closed pipe of half length and frequency is inversely proportional to the length of air column.
Hence, frequency of closed pipe will become double $=2 \times \frac{n}{2}=n$
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
