A open pipe of length \(l\) is vibrating in \(3 \mathrm{rd}\) overtone with maximum amplitude \(A\). The amplitude at a distance of \(\frac{l}{16}\) from any open end is

  1. A A
  2. B 0
  3. C \(\frac{A}{\sqrt{2}}\)
  4. D \(\frac{\sqrt{3} A}{2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{A}{\sqrt{2}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For open organ pipe, wavelength of \(n^{\text {th }}\) overtone \[ \begin{aligned} & \lambda_n=\frac{2 l}{n+1} \quad(n=3) \\ & \lambda=\frac{2 l}{4}=\frac{l}{2} \end{aligned} \] As pipe is open, so antinode (maximum amplitude) will form at open ends. At \(l=0\), amplitude \(=A\)…
