The second overtone of an open organ pipe has the same frequency as the first overtone of a closed pipe which is LL meter long. The length of the open pipe will be

Options

  1. ALL
  2. B2L2L
  3. CL2\dfrac{L}{2}
  4. D4L4L

Correct answer

B. 2L2L

Step-by-step solution

Let the length of open organ pipe be L′L'.

Frequency of second overtone of open organ pipe is given as, f1=3v2L′{f}_{1} = \dfrac{3v}{2L '}, where vv is speed of sound in air.

Frequency of first overtone of closed pipe is given as, f2=3v4L{f}_{2} = \dfrac{3v}{4L}.

According to question, f1=f2{f}_{1} = {f}_{2}

3v2L′=3v4L⇒L′=2L\dfrac{3v}{2L '} = \dfrac{3v}{4L} ⇒ L ' = 2L.

Hence, length of open organ pipe must be twice the length of closed organ pipe.
