JEE Main 2024 Physics question
The fundamental frequency of a closed organ pipe is equal to the first overtone frequency of an open organ pipe. If length of the open pipe is 60 cm, the length of the closed pipe will be:
Answer: (C)
Solution
For the closed pipe f = v/(4ℓ_c); for the open pipe the first overtone is 2(v/2ℓ₀). Equating: v/(4ℓ_c) = 2(v/(2ℓ₀)), so ℓ_c = ℓ₀/4 = 15 cm.
