$P, S$, will be $1^{\text {st }}$ and $2^{\text {nd }}$ harmonics of closed tube.

$P=\frac{v}{4 l}, S=\frac{v}{4 l}$

$Q, R$ are the $1^{\text {st }}$ and $2^{\text {nd }}$ harmonics of open pipe.

$Q=\frac{v}{2 l}, R=\frac{v}{l}$

$\therefore P: Q: R: S=1: 2: 4: 3$

     A narrow tube is bent in the form of a circle of radius $R,$ as shown in the figure. Two small holes $S$ and $D$ are made in the tube at the positions right angle to each other. A source placed at $S$ generated a wave of intensity $I_0$ which is equally divided into two parts : One part travels along the longer path, while the other travels along the shorter path. Both the part waves meet at the point $D$ where a detector is placed If a maxima is formed at the detector then, the magnitude of wavelength $\lambda$ of the wave produced is given by $\pi R$
