A closed and an open organ pipe have same lengths. If the ratio of frequencies of their seventh overtones is \(\left(\frac{a-1}{a}\right)\) then the value of \(a\) is _______.

  1. A \(11\)
  2. B \(15\)
  3. C \(16\)
  4. D \(20\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(16\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For closed organ pipe \(\mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{c}}=(2 \mathrm{n}+1) \frac{\mathrm{v}}{4 \ell}=\frac{15 \mathrm{v}}{4 \ell}\) For open organ pipe \(\mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{o}}=(\mathrm{n}+1) \frac{\mathrm{v}}{2 \ell}=\frac{8 \mathrm{v}}{2 \ell}\)…
