    An open organ pipe has a fundamental frequency of 300 Hz. The first overtone of a closed organ pipe has the same frequency as the first overtone of organ pipe. How long is each pipe?

    A)  41.25 cm          

    B)  42.3 cm

    C)  49.5 cm           

    D)  40.5 cm

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Fundamental frequency of an organ pipe                 \[{{f}_{1}}=\frac{v}{2{{l}_{0}}}\] \[\therefore \] \[{{I}_{0}}=\frac{v}{2{{f}_{1}}}=\frac{330}{2\times 300}=0.55\,m\] Given, first overtone of closed pipe                 = First overtone of open pipe Hence, \[3\left( \frac{v}{3{{I}_{c}}} \right)=2\left( \frac{v}{2{{I}_{0}}} \right)\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[{{I}_{c}}=\frac{3}{4}{{I}_{0}}=\left( \frac{3}{4} \right)\,\,(0.55)\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[{{I}_{c}}=0.4125\,\,m\,\,\,\Rightarrow {{I}_{c}}=41.25\,\,cm\]
