Pick an option to check your answer.
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

\(\mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{o}}=(\mathrm{n}+1) \frac{\mathrm{v}}{2 \ell}=\frac{8 \mathrm{v}}{2 \ell}\)

\(\frac{\mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{c}}}{\mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{o}}}=\frac{15}{16}=\frac{\mathrm{a}-1}{\mathrm{a}}\)

\(\Rightarrow \mathrm{a}=16\)
