In fundamental mode, the time required for the sound wave to reach up to the closed end of pipe filled with air is \(t\) second. The frequency of vibration of air column is

  1. A \(\frac{1}{\mathrm{t}}\)
  2. B \(\frac{2}{\mathrm{t}}\)
  3. C \(\frac{3}{\mathrm{t}}\)
  4. D \(\frac{0.25}{\mathrm{t}}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{0.25}{\mathrm{t}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In fundamental mode the length of the closed tube is \(\frac{\lambda}{4}\)
Time required to travel a distance \(\frac{\lambda}{4}\) is \(\mathrm{t}\).
Hence time required to travel a distance \(\lambda\) will be \(4 \mathrm{t}\).
\(\therefore\) Time period \(\mathrm{T}=4 \mathrm{t}\)
Frequency, \(\mathrm{n}=\frac{1}{\mathrm{~T}}=\frac{1}{4 \mathrm{t}}=\frac{0.25}{\mathrm{t}}\)
