Options
- A(A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)
- B(A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)
- C(A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(II), (D)-(I)
- D(A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(II), (D)-(I)
Correct answer
C. (A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(II), (D)-(I)
Step-by-step solution
For a closed pipe of length L , the allowed wavelengths are given by L = n 4 where n = 1, 3, 5, For the fundamental mode ( n = 1 ), = 4L . For the first overtone ( n = 3 ), = 4L 3 . For an open pipe of length L , the allowed wavelengths are given by L = n 2 where n = 1, 2, 3, For the fundamental mode ( n = 1 ), = 2L . For the first overtone ( n = 2 ), = L . Therefore, the correct matching is (A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(II), (D)-(I). Answer: (A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(II), (D)-(I)
