Fundamental frequency of an open pipe is f_o , Fundamental frequency when it is half filled with water is
Options
- Af_o
- Bf_o / 2
- C2 f₀
- D3 f₀
Correct answer
A. f_o
Step-by-step solution
If an open pipe is half submerged in water, it will become a closed organ pipe of length half that of open pipe as shown in figure. So, its frequency will become, f_c= v 4 ( L 2 ) = v 2 L =f_o i e , equal to that of open pipe ie, frequency will remain unchanged.
