Wave Motion 2 Question 23

23. An organ pipe $P _1$ closed at one end vibrating in its first harmonic and another pipe $P _2$ open at both ends vibrating in its third harmonic are in resonance with a given tuning fork. The ratio of the length of $P _1$ and $P _2$ is

(1988, 2M)

(a) $8 / 3$

(b) $3 / 8$

(c) $1 / 6$

(d) $1 / 3$

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 23. (c)

Solution:

  1. $\quad$ First harmonic of closed $=$ Third harmonic of open

$\therefore \quad \frac{v}{4 l _1}=3\left(\frac{v}{2 l _2}\right) \Rightarrow \therefore \quad \frac{l _1}{l _2}=\frac{1}{6}$
