An open pipe is suddenly closed at one end with the result that the frequency of third harmonic of the closed pipe is termed to be higher by 100 Hz than the fundamental frequency of the open pipe. The fundamental frequency of the open pipe is`
Options
- A200 Hz
- B150 Hz
- C100 Hz
- D250 Hz
Correct answer
A. 200 Hz
Step-by-step solution
Fundamental frequency of open pipe n₁= v 2 l Frequency of third harmonic of closed pipe aligned n₁ & = 3 v 4 l 3 v 4 l - v 2 l & =100 v 4 l & =100 1 2 ( v 2 l ) & =100 n₁ & =200 ~Hz aligned
