An organ pipe $P_1$, closed at one end and containing a gas of density $\rho_1$ is vibrating in its first harmonic. Another organ pipe $P_2$, open at both ends and containing a gas of density $\rho_2$ is vibrating in its third harmonic. Both the pipes are in resonance with a given tuning fork. If the compressibility of gases is equal in both pipes, the ratio of the lengths of $P_1$ and $P_2$ is (assume the given gases to be monoatomic)

  • A
    $\frac{1}{3}$
  • B
    $3$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{6} \sqrt{\frac{\rho_1}{\rho_2}}$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{6} \sqrt{\frac{\rho_2}{\rho_1}}$

What is the minimum length of a tube,open at both ends,that resonates with a tuning fork of frequency $350 \ Hz$? [Velocity of sound in air $= 350 \ m/s$] ..... $cm$

In a physics lab,a student is performing an experiment with a resonance tube to find the speed of sound and its end correction. For this,he used a resonance tube of length $120 \ cm$. When the length of the air column in the tube is $16 \ cm$ and $50 \ cm$,he obtains the $I$ and $II$ resonance respectively,while a tuning fork of frequency $500 \ Hz$ is sounded just above the tube. Match the parameters in List-$I$ with their suitable values in List-$II$.

$A$. Wavelength of sound $(cm)$ $p$. $1$
$B$. Height of liquid column at $II$ resonance $(cm)$ $q$. $2$
$C$. Speed of sound $(m/s)$ $r$. $340$
$D$. End correction $(cm)$ $s$. $68$
$E$. Minimum level of liquid column at resonance $(cm)$ $t$. $70$

$A$ resonance tube is old and has a jagged end. It is still used in the laboratory to determine the velocity of sound in air. $A$ tuning fork of frequency $512\,Hz$ produces the first resonance when the tube is filled with water to a mark $11\,cm$ below a reference mark,near the open end of the tube. The experiment is repeated with another fork of frequency $256\,Hz$,which produces the first resonance when water reaches a mark $27\,cm$ below the reference mark. The velocity of sound in air,obtained in the experiment,is close to .... $ms^{-1}$

$A$ resonance tube completely filled with water has a small hole at the bottom. Length of the tube is $0.8 \ m$. $A$ vibrating tuning fork of frequency $500 \ Hz$ is held near the open end of the tube. Water is slowly removed from the bottom. The maximum number of resonances heard will be (Neglect end correction. Speed of sound in air $= 340 \ m/s$).

$A$ closed organ pipe and an open organ pipe are tuned to the same fundamental frequency. What is the ratio of their lengths?
