The fundamental frequencies of vibrations of air column in pipe open at both ends and in pipe closed at one end are ' n ₁ ' and ' n ₂ ' respectively, then
Options
- An ₁= n ₂
- Bn ₁=2 n ₂
- C2 n ₁= n ₂
- D3 n ₁=4 n ₂
Correct answer
B. n ₁=2 n ₂
Step-by-step solution
The fundamental frequency of a pipe open at both ends is n₁ = v 2L , while for a closed pipe it is n₂ = v 4L . Taking the ratio n₁ n₂ = v/2L v/4L = 4 2 = 2 , we find that n₁ = 2n₂ . Final answer: B
