The fundamental frequency of an air column in a pipe closed at one end is 150 Hz . If the same pipe is open at both the end, the frequencies produces in Hz are
Options
- A150, 300, 450, 600, ........
- B300,450,600,750, .
- C300,400,500,600,
- D300,600,900,1200,
Correct answer
D. 300,600,900,1200,
Step-by-step solution
For a pipe closed at one end with fundamental frequency f_c = 150 , Hz , the relation f_c = v/(4L) yields v/L = 600 , Hz . If the same pipe is open at both ends, its fundamental frequency is f_o = v/(2L) = 300 , Hz . An open pipe supports harmonics at integer multiples of f_o , producing frequencies 300 , 600 , 900 , 1200 , , Hz . This matches option D .
