In a closed organ pipe, the number of nodes formed in fifth and ninth harmonics are respectively

  1. A 5,9
  2. B 3,5
  3. C 5,7
  4. D 2,4
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 3,5

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For a closed organ pipe, the \( (2k-1)^{th} \) harmonic has \( k \) nodes. For 5th harmonic: \( 2k-1=5 \implies k=3 \). Nodes = 3. For 9th harmonic: \( 2k-1=9 \implies k=5 \). Nodes = 5.
