First overtone frequency of a closed organ pipe is equal to the first overtone frequency of an open organ pipe. Further nth harmonic of closed organ pipe is also equal to the mth harmonic of open pipe, where $n$ and $m$ are:
A police van, moving at $22\, m/s$ , chases a motor-cyclist. The police man sounds horn at $176\, Hz$ , while both of them move towards a stationary siren of frequency $165\, Hz$ as shown in the figure. If the motor-cyclist does not observe any beats, his speed must be .... $m/s$ (take the speed of sound $= 330\, m/s$ )
The length of two open organ pipes are $l$ and $(l + \Delta l)$ respectively. Neglecting end correction, the frequency of beats between them will be approximately (Here $v$ is the speed of sound)
A hospital uses an ultrasonic scanner to locate tumours in a tissue. The operating frequency of the scanner is $4.2 MHz$. The speed of sound in a tissue is $1.7 \,km-s^{-1}$. The wavelength of sound in the tissue is close to
In a large room, a person receives direct sound waves from a source $120$ metres away from him. He also receives waves from the same source which reach him, being reflected from the $25$ metre high ceiling at a point halfway between them. The two waves interfere constructively for wavelength of
A car moves towards a hill with speed $v_c$. It blows a horn of frequency $f$ which is heared by an observer following the car with speed $v_0$. The speed of sound in air is $v$.
