The \(3^{\text {rd }}\) overtone of a closed organ pipe is in unison with \(3^{\text {rd }}\) overtone of an open pipe. The ratio of the length of the closed pipe to length of open pipe is

  1. A \(\frac{7}{8}\)
  2. B \(\frac{4}{3}\)
  3. C \(\frac{6}{5}\)
  4. D \(\frac{7}{9}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{7}{8}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Frequency of \(3^{\text{rd}}\) overtone of closed pipe: \(f_c = \frac{7v}{4L_c}\) Frequency of \(3^{\text{rd}}\) overtone of open pipe: \(f_o = \frac{4v}{2L_o} = \frac{2v}{L_o}\)
