The fundamental frequency of a closed organ pipe of length 20 cm is equal to the second overtone of an organ pipe open at both the ends. The length of the organ pipe open at both the ends is
Options
- A80   cm
- B100   cm
- C120   cm
- D140   cm
Correct answer
C. 120   cm
Step-by-step solution
For closed organ pipe, n c = V 4 l For open organ pipe, n 0 = V 2 l ′ For the second overtone of an open organ pipe, n ′ = 3 n 0 = 3 V 2 l ′ n c = n ′ V 4 l = 3 V 2 l ′ l ′ = 6 l = 6 × 20 l ′ = 120   c m
