A closed organ pipe of length 20 cm is sounded with tuning fork in resonance. What is frequency of tuning fork? (v=332 m/s)(v=332 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s})A closed organ pipe of length 20 cm is sounded with tuning fork in resonance. What is frequency of tuning fork? (v=332

Options

  1. A300 Hz
  2. B350 Hz
  3. C375 Hz
  4. 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 l=λ4l=\frac{\lambda}{4} So, frequency of tuning fork f=vλ=v4lf=\frac{v}{\lambda}=\frac{v}{4 l} A closed organ pipe of length 20 cm is sounded with tuning fork in resonance. What is frequency of tuning fork? (v=332 Given, l=20 cm=0.2 m,v=332 m/sl=20 \mathrm{~cm}=0.2 \mathrm{~m}, v=332 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s} Hence, f=0.3324×0.2=415 Hz\quad f=\frac{0.332}{4 \times 0.2}=415 \mathrm{~Hz}
