The fundamental frequency of a closed organ pipe is equal to the first overtone frequency of an open organ pipe. If length of the open pipe is 60 cm, the length of the closed pipe will be:
- 15 cm
- 60 cm
- 45 cm
- 30 cm
Answer
(1) 15 cm
Solution
Closed pipe, fundamental: fc= v4Lc
Open pipe, first overtone (2nd harmonic): fo=2 v2Lo= vLo
fc=fo v4Lc= vLo Lc= Lo4
= 604=15 cm
Answer: (1)
