When the air inside a closed pipe is at a temperature of 20^{}^{{}^{\circ}} \text{C}, its fundamental frequency is . Determine its fundamental frequency if the temperature changes to 22^{}^{{}^{\circ}} \text{C}.
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
B.
Step-by-step solution
The fundamental frequency of a closed pipe is given by .
The speed of sound in a gas is proportional to the square root of its absolute temperature, .
Therefore, the fundamental frequency is proportional to the square root of the absolute temperature, .
Given and .
The new temperature is .
Using the relation :
The speed of sound in a gas is proportional to the square root of its absolute temperature, .
Therefore, the fundamental frequency is proportional to the square root of the absolute temperature, .
Given and .
The new temperature is .
Using the relation :
