MCQ
A closed orgain pipe has length $'l’$. The air in it is vibrating in $3^{rd}$ overtone with maximum displacement amplitude $'a’$. The displacement amplitude at distance $l / 7$ from closed end of the pipe is:
  • A
    $0$
  • $a$
  • C
    $a / 2$
  • D
    none of these

Answer

Correct option: B.
$a$
b
closed organ pipe is in third overtone so total length will be equal to $\frac{\lambda \times 7}{4} .$ so, $\frac{\lambda \times 7}{4}=L$ $\frac{L}{7}=\frac{\lambda}{4}$

amplitude at $\frac{\lambda}{4}$ from the closed end is maximum

so amplitude at $\frac{L}{7}$ is $a.$
