MCQ
The fundamental frequency of a closed pipe is $220 Hz$. If $\frac{1}{4}$ of the pipe is filled with water, the frequency of the first overtone of the pipe now is ..... $Hz$
  • A
    $220$
  • B
    $440$
  • $880$
  • D
    $1760$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$880$
c
(c) Fundamental frequency of closed pipe

$n = \frac{v}{{4l}} = 220\,Hz \Rightarrow v = 220 \times 4l$

If $\frac{1}{4}$ of the pipe is filled with water then remaining length of air column is $\frac{{3l}}{4}$

Now fundamental frequency = $\frac{v}{{4\left( {\frac{{3l}}{4}} \right)}} = \frac{v}{{3l}}$ and

First overtone = $3 \times $ fundamental frequency

= $\frac{{3v}}{{3l}} = \frac{v}{l} = \frac{{220 \times 4l}}{l} = 880$$Hz$.
