Answer:
Correct Answer: 52. (c)
Solution:
- (c) Fundamental frequency of open pipe, $f=\frac{v}{2 l}$
When half of tube is filled with water, then the length of air column becomes half $(l^{\prime}=\frac{l}{2})$ and the pipe becomes closed.
So, new fundamental frequency
$f^{\prime}=\frac{v}{4 l^{\prime}}=\frac{v}{4(\frac{l}{2})}=\frac{v}{2 l}$
Clearly $f^{\prime}=f$.
