Second overtone of an open organ pipe

$\text { (Third harmonic) }=3 \times v_{0}^{\prime}=3 \times \frac{v}{2 L^{\prime}}$

First overtone of a closed organ pipe

$\text { (Third harmonic) }=3 \times v_{0}=3 \times \frac{v}{4 L}$

According to question,

$3 v_{0}^{\prime}=3 v_{0} \Rightarrow 3 \times \frac{v}{2 L^{\prime}}=3 \times \frac{v}{4 L}$

$\therefore \quad L^{\prime}=2 L$

    An open pipe is in resonance in its $2^{nd}$ harmonic with tuning fork of frequency ${f_1}$. Now it is closed at one end. If the frequency of the tuning fork is increased slowly from ${f_1}$ then again a resonance is obtained with a frequency ${f_2}$. If in this case the pipe vibrates ${n^{th}}$ harmonics then
