An air column, closed at one end and open at the other, resonates with a tuning fork when the smallest length of the column is 50     cm . The next larger length of the column resonating with the same tuning fork is:
Options
- A66.7     cm
- B100     cm
- C150     cm
- D200     cm
Correct answer
C. 150     cm
Step-by-step solution
First minimum resonating length for closed organ pipe = λ 4 = 50 cm ∴ Next larger length of air column = 3 λ 4 = 150 cm
