Each octaves is double the frequency of the previous octave.
If initial frequency is $f$.
Final frequency $=2 \times 2 \times 2 f$ or $2^3 f$ or $8 f$
$\therefore$ Frequency ratio $=8: 1$.

A closed organ pipe has a fundamental frequency of $1.5\, kHz$. The number of overtones that can be distinctly heard by a person with this organ pipe will be : (Assume that the highest frequency a person can hear is $20,000\, Hz$)
Figure given below shows four progressive waves $A, B, C$ and $D$ with their phases expressed with respect to the wave $A$ . It can be calculated from the figure that
A train moving towards a hill at a speed of $72\ km/hr$ sounds a whistle of frequency $500\ Hz$ . A wind is blowing from the hill at a speed of $36\ km/hr$ . If the speed of sound in air is $340\ m/s$ , the frequency heard by a man on the hill (nearly) is ... $Hz$
Two persons $A$ and $B$, each carrying a source of sound of frequency $n$, are standing a few metres apart in a quiet field. $A$ starts moving towards $B$ with a speed $u$. If $v$ is the speed of sound, the number of beats heard per second by $A$ will be
Two waves ${y_1} = {A_1}\sin (\omega t - {\beta _1})$, ${y_2} = {A_2}\sin (\omega t - {\beta _2})$ Superimpose to form a resultant wave whose amplitude is
The fundamental frequency of a sonometer wire is increases by $6\, Hz$ if its tension is increased by $44\%$, keeping the length constant. The frequency of the wire is ...... $Hz$
A string is producing transverse vibration whose equation is $y = 0.021\;\sin (x + 30t)$, Where $x$ and $y$ are in meters and $t$ is in seconds. If the linear density of the string is $1.3 \times {10^{ - 4}}\,kg/m,$ then the tension in the string in $N$ will be
Answer the following by appropriately matching the lists based on the information given in the paragraph.A musical instrument is made using four different metal strings, $1,2,3$ and $4$ with mass per unit length $\mu, 2 \mu, 3 \mu$ and $4 \mu$ respectively. The instrument is played by vibrating the strings by varying the free length in between the range $L _0$ and $2 L _0$. It is found that in string$-1 \ (\mu)$ at free length $L _0$ and tension $T _0$ the fundamental mode frequency is $f _0$.
List $-I$ gives the above four strings while list $-II$ lists the magnitude of some quantity.
List $-I$
List $-II$
$(I)$ String $-1( \mu$ )
$(P) 1$
$(II)$ String $-2 (2 \mu)$
$(Q)$ $1 / 2$
$(III)$ String $-3 (3 \mu)$
$(R)$ $1 / \sqrt{2}$
$(IV)$ String $-4 (4 \mu)$
$(S)$ $1 / \sqrt{3}$
$(T)$ $3 / 16$
$(U)$ $1 / 16$
($1$) If the tension in each string is $T _0$, the correct match for the highest fundamental frequency in $f _0$ units will be,
$(1)$ $I \rightarrow P , II \rightarrow R , III \rightarrow S , IV \rightarrow Q$
$(2)$ $I \rightarrow P , II \rightarrow Q , III \rightarrow T , IV \rightarrow S$
$(3)$ $I \rightarrow Q , II \rightarrow S , III \rightarrow R , IV \rightarrow P$
$(4)$ I $\rightarrow Q , II \rightarrow P , III \rightarrow R$, IV $\rightarrow T$
($2$) The length of the string $1,2,3$ and 4 are kept fixed at $L _0, \frac{3 L _0}{2}, \frac{5 L _0}{4}$ and $\frac{7 L _0}{4}$, respectively. Strings $1,2,3$ and 4 are vibrated at their $1^{\text {tt }}, 3^{\text {rd }}, 5^{\text {m }}$ and $14^{\star}$ harmonics, respectively such that all the strings have same frequency. The correct match for the tension in the four strings in the units of $T _0$ will be.
$(1)$ $I \rightarrow P , II \rightarrow Q , III \rightarrow T , IV \rightarrow U$
$(2)$ $I \rightarrow T , II \rightarrow Q , III \rightarrow R$, IV $\rightarrow U$
$(3)$ $I \rightarrow P , II \rightarrow Q , III \rightarrow R , IV \rightarrow T$
$(4)$ I $\rightarrow P , II \rightarrow R , III \rightarrow T , IV \rightarrow U$
