MCQ
An organ pipe $P_1$ closed at one end vibrating in its first overtone. Another pipe $P_2$ open at both ends is vibrating in its third overtone. They are in a resonance with a given tuning fork. The ratio of the length of $P_1$ to that of $P_2$ is :
  • A
    $8/3$
  • ✓
    $3/8$
  • C
    $1/2$
  • D
    $1/3$
✓

Answer

Correct option: B.
$3/8$
b
Length of pipe closed at one end for first overtone, $l_{1}=3 \pi / 4$

Length of pipe closed at both ends for third overtone; $l_{2}=3 \pi / 4$

$\pi=$ wavelength

$l_{2}=\frac{4 \pi}{2}=2 \pi$

$\therefore \frac{l_{1}}{l_{2}}=\frac{\frac{3 \pi}{4}}{2 \pi}=\frac{3 \pi}{4 \times 2 \pi}=\frac{3}{8}$

$l_{1}: l_{2}=3: 8$

Column $I$ shows four systems, each of the same length $L$, for producing standing waves. The lowest possible natural frequency of a system is called its fundamental frequency, whose wavelength is denoted as $\lambda_{ f }$. Match each system with statements given in Column $II$ describing the nature and wavelength of the standing waves.
