MCQ
A closed organ pipe and an open organ pipe are tuned to the same fundamental frequency. What is the ratio of lengths
  • $1:2$
  • B
    $2:1$
  • C
    $2:3$
  • D
    $4:3$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$1:2$
a
(a) Let ${l_1}$ and ${l_2}$ be the length’s of closed and open pipes respectively. (Neglecting end correction)

${l_1} = \frac{{{\lambda _1}}}{4} \Rightarrow {\lambda _1} = 4{l_1}$ and ${l_2} = \frac{{{\lambda _2}}}{2} \Rightarrow {\lambda _2} = 2{l_2}$

Given ${n_1} = {n_2}$ so $\frac{v}{{{\lambda _1}}} = \frac{v}{{{\lambda _2}}} $

$\Rightarrow \frac{v}{{4{l_1}}} = \frac{v}{{2{l_2}}} = \frac{{{l_1}}}{{{l_2}}} = \frac{1}{2}$
