If sound travels in air with the speed of 340 m s - 1 , then the number of tones present in an open organ pipe of length 2 m for a maximum frequency of 1200 Hz , are
Options
- A17
- B11
- C9
- D14
Correct answer
D. 14
Step-by-step solution
Given, speed of sound, v = 340   m   s - 1 Length of open organ pipe, l = 2   m Frequency, f = 1200   Hz For open organ pipe, Fundamental frequency, f 0 = v 2 l = 340 2 × 2 = 85 ∴ Number of tones present in the open organ pipe = f f 0 = 1200 85 = 14 . 11 ≃ 14
