A closed organ pipe of length 20 cm is sounded with tuning fork in resonance. What is frequency of tuning fork? 
Options
- A300 Hz
- B350 Hz
- C375 Hz
- D415 Hz
Correct answer
D. 415 Hz
Step-by-step solution
If we adjust the length of air-column in closed organ pipe as such its any natural frequency equals to the frequency of tuning fork, then the amplitude of forced vibrations of air-column increases very much. This is the state of resonance.
At first resonance
So, frequency of tuning fork
Given,
Hence,
