Two consecutive harmonics of an air column in pipe closed at one end are of frequencies \(150 \mathrm{~Hz}\) and \(250 \mathrm{~Hz}\). The fundament frequency of an air column is

  1. A \(25 \mathrm{~Hz}\)
  2. B \(75 \mathrm{~Hz}\)
  3. C \(100 \mathrm{~Hz}\)
  4. D \(50 \mathrm{~Hz}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(50 \mathrm{~Hz}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In a pipe closed at one end only odd harmonics of the fundamental are produced, i.e., \(50 \mathrm{~Hz}, 150 \mathrm{~Hz}, 250 \mathrm{~Hz}\). Hence fundamental frequency is \(50 \mathrm{~Hz}\)
