Air column in two identical tubes is vibrating. Tube A has one end closed and tube B has both ends open. Neglecting end correction, the ratio of the fundamental frequency of air column in tube A to that in tube B is
Options
- A1: 4
- B4: 1
- C1: 2
- D2: 2
Correct answer
C. 1: 2
Step-by-step solution
The correct option is (C). Consider the following diagram: Velocity of a wave v in a given medium is fixed, as v= f , where is the wavelength and f is the frequency. Therefore, f 1 The ratio of frequencies in case A and case B is given by, f ₁ f ₂ = ₂ ₁ = 1 2
