Assertion : Fundamental frequency of a narrow organ
pipe is more than a broad diameter organ pipe of same length.
Reason: If we apply Laplace end correction, then fundamental frequency of a closed organ pipe is more than v/4I.
Options
- AIf both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
- BIf both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
- CIf Assertion is true but Reason is false.
- DIf Assertion is false but Reason is true.
Correct answer
C. If Assertion is true but Reason is false.
Step-by-step solution
Assertion: True. For the same physical length , a narrow pipe has smaller end correction than a broad pipe, so its effective length (L_{\text{eff }}=L+e) is smaller and therefore its fundamental frequency (f \propto 1 / L_{\text{eff }}) is larger.
Reason: False. Applying end correction increases the effective length, so the actual fundamental frequency is less than , not more. The Reason's statement is therefore incorrect.
