The frequency of the second overtone of the open pipe is equal to the frequency of the first overtone of the closed pipe. The ratio of the lengths of the open pipe and the closed pipe is

  1. A \(2: 1\)
  2. B \(1: 2\)
  3. C \(1: 3\)
  4. D \(3: 1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(2: 1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The frequency of first overtone for closed pipe,
\(f_{c}=\frac{3 \mathrm{v}}{4 I_{c}}\)
Given, i.e.,
\(\begin{aligned}
f_{c} &=f_{0} \\
\frac{3 v}{4 I_{c}} &=\frac{3 v}{2 I_{o}} \Rightarrow \frac{I_{o}}{I_{c}}=\frac{2}{1}
\end{aligned}\)
