A one metre long (both ends open) organ pipe is kept in a gas that has double the density of air at \(STP\). Assuming the speed of sound in air at \(STP\) is \(300\; \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}\), the frequency difference between the fundamental and second harmonic of this pipe is ___ \(\mathrm{Hz}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(106\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(v_{s}=\sqrt{\frac{\gamma P}{\rho}}\)

\(\frac{\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{gas}}}{\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{air}}}=\sqrt{\frac{\rho_{\mathrm{air}}}{\rho_{\mathrm{gas}}}}\)

\(\Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{gas}}}{300}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\)

\(\Rightarrow \mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{gas}}=\frac{300}{\sqrt{2}}\)

\(\therefore \mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{grs}}=150 \sqrt{2}\)

Now \(\mathrm{n}_{2}-\mathrm{n}_{1}=\frac{\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{gss}}}{2 \ell}=\frac{150 \sqrt{2}}{2(1)}=75 \sqrt{2}\)

\(\Rightarrow \Delta \mathrm{n}=106.06 \mathrm{Hz}\)
