An open pipe emits a fundamental frequency n when it emits the 3rd harmonic, then the pipe can accommodate
Options
- A2 nodes, 2 anti-nodes
- B3 nodes, 4 anti-nodes
- C3 nodes, 3 anti-nodes
- D1 node, 2 anti-nodes
Correct answer
B. 3 nodes, 4 anti-nodes
Step-by-step solution
For third harmonic, n=3 . So, for an open pipe, the propagation of waves can be shown as Nodes =3 and anti-nodes =4
