    An open and a closed pipe have same length. The ratio of frequencies of their nth overtone is:

    A) \[\frac{n+1}{(2n+1)}\]                     

    B) \[\frac{2(n+1)}{(2n+1)}\]

    C)  \[\frac{n}{(2n+1)}\]             

    D) \[\frac{(n+1)}{2n}\]  

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Let\[\ell \]be the length of the pipes and v the speed of sound. Then frequency of open organ pipe of overtone is \[{{f}_{1}}=(n+1)\frac{v}{2\ell }\]and frequency. Of closed organ pipe of nth overtone is \[{{f}_{2}}=(2n+1)\frac{v}{4\ell }\] Hence, the correction option is [b].
