A closed pipe and an open pipe have their first overtone equal in frequency. Then the lengths of these pipes are in the ratio

  1. A \(1: 2\)
  2. B \(2: 3\)
  3. C \(3: 4\)
  4. D \(4: 5\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(3: 4\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The first overtone for open pipe is
\(\mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{o}}=\frac{2 \mathrm{v}}{2 l_{\mathrm{o}}}\)
The first overtone for closed pipe is
\(\mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{c}}=\frac{3 \mathrm{v}}{4 l_{\mathrm{c}}}\)
Equating the frequencies,
\(\frac{2 \mathrm{v}}{2 l_{\mathrm{o}}}=\frac{3 \mathrm{v}}{4 l_{\mathrm{c}}}\)
\(\frac{l_{\mathrm{c}}}{l_{\mathrm{o}}}=\frac{3}{4}\)
