An organ pipe open at one end is vibrating in its first overtone and is in resonance with another pipe open at both ends vibrating in its third harmonic. The ratio of the length of the two pipes is:

  • A
    $1:2$
  • B
    $4:1$
  • C
    $8:3$
  • D
    $3:8$

An open pipe is in resonance in its $2^{nd}$ harmonic with a tuning fork of frequency ${f_1}$. Now,it is closed at one end. If the frequency of the tuning fork is increased slowly from ${f_1}$,then again a resonance is obtained with a frequency ${f_2}$. If in this case the pipe vibrates in its $n^{th}$ harmonic,then:

Sound waves of frequency $600 \,Hz$ fall normally on a perfectly reflecting wall. The shortest distance from the wall at which all particles will have maximum amplitude of vibration is (speed of sound $= 300 \,ms^{-1}$)

Two closed organ pipes having lengths $20\,cm$ and $20.5\,cm$ produce $5\,beats/sec$. Determine the frequency of both organ pipes.

What should be the length of a closed pipe to produce resonance with a sound wave of wavelength $62 \,cm$,in fundamental mode (in $\,cm$)? [Neglect end correction]

In an organ pipe closed at one end,the sum of the frequencies of the first three overtones is $3930 \ Hz$. The frequency of the fundamental mode of the organ pipe is: (in $Hz$)
