Step-by-step solution

fundamental frequency

A pipe of length 85 cm is closed from one end. Find the number of possible natural oscillations of air column in the

L=λ4v1=v4L\text{L} = \dfrac{\lambda}{4}{v}_{1} = \dfrac{\text{v}}{4\text{L}}

A pipe of length 85 cm is closed from one end. Find the number of possible natural oscillations of air column in the

L=λ2+λ4=3λ4\text{L} = \dfrac{\lambda}{2} + \dfrac{\lambda}{4} = \dfrac{3 \lambda}{4}

v2=3v4L{v}_{2} = \dfrac{3\text{v}}{4\text{L}}

∴v=odd(v4L)∴ v = \text{odd}\left(\dfrac{\text{v}}{4\text{L}}\right)

Now L=85cm=0.85 m\text{L} = 8 5 cm = \text{0.85 m}

v=340m/s\text{v} = 340 m/s

=odd(3404×0.85)= \text{odd} \left(\dfrac{3 4 0}{4 \times \text{0.85}}\right)

=odd×100Hz= \text{odd} \times 100\text{Hz}

Hence possible frequencies below 1250 Hz are

100 Hz, 300 Hz, 500 Hz...........1100 Hz

Hence 6
