When an open organ is dipped in water upto half of its height, then its frequency will become
Options
- Ahalf
- Bdouble
- Cremain same
- Dfour time
Correct answer
C. remain same
Step-by-step solution
Frequency of open organ pipe is double than that of closed pipe. If frequency of open pipe =n Frequency of closed pipe = n 2 On inserting an open pipe into water upto half of its height, it will behave like a closed pipe of half length and frequency is inversely proportional to the length of air column. Hence, frequency of closed pipe will become double =2 n 2 =n
