The frequency of fourth overtone of a closed pipe is in unison with the fifth overtone of an open pipe. The ratio of length of closed pipe to that of open pipe is

  1. A \(2: 3\)
  2. B \(3: 4\)
  3. C \(4: 5\)
  4. D \(5: 6\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(3: 4\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Frequency of fourth overtone (9th harmonic) of closed pipe: \(f_c = \frac{9v}{4L_c}\) Frequency of fifth overtone (6th harmonic) of open pipe: \(f_o = \frac{6v}{2L_o} = \frac{3v}{L_o}\)
