If the length of an open organ pipe is 33.3   cm , then the frequency of fifth overtone is [Neglect end correction, velocity of sound = 333   m / s ]

A.3500 Hz

B. 3000   Hz

C. 2500   Hz

D. 2000   Hz

Correct Option is (B)

For a pipe open at both ends,

n = v 21 = 333 2 × 33.3 × 10 2 = 500   Hz

Frequency of 5 th  overtone,

n = 6 n = 6 × 500 = 3000   Hz

A closed organ pipe of length ' L 1 ' and an open organ pipe contain diatomic gases of densities ' ρ 1 ' and ' ρ 2 ' respectively. The compressibilities of the gases are same in both pipes, which are vibrating in their first overtone with same frequency. The length of the open organ pipe is (Neglect end correction)

A. 4   L 1 3

B. 4 L 1 3 ρ 1 ρ 2

C. 4 L 1 3 ρ 2 ρ 1

D. 3 4 L 1 ρ 1 ρ 2

Correct Option is (B)

Given both gases are vibrating in the first overtone with same frequency, we get

f closed  = f open  3 v 4   L 1 = v L 2

According to Laplace's correction

v = γ P ρ 3 4   L 1 × γ P ρ 1 = 1   L 2 × γ P ρ 2 L 2 = 4   L 1 3 ρ 1 ρ 2

A pipe closed at one end has length 0.8   m . At its open end 0.5   m long uniform string is vibrating in its 2 nd  harmonic and it resonates with the fundamental frequency of the pipe. If the tension in the wire is 50   N and the speed of sound is 320   m / s , the mass of the string is

A. 20 gram

B. 10 gram

C. 5 gram

D. 15 gram

Correct Option is (B)

2 × [ 1 2 1 T m ] = v 4 2 1 0.5 50   m = 320 4 × 0.8 m = 0.02   kg / m  Total mass of the string  = 0.02 × 0.5   kg = 10 gm

A closed organ pipe of length ' L c ' and an open organ pipe of length ' L o ' contain different gases of densities ' ρ 1 ' and ' ρ 2 ' respectively. The compressibility of the gases is the same in both the pipes. The gases are vibrating in their first overtone with the same frequency. What is the length of open organ pipe?

A. 4 L c 3 ρ ρ 2

B. 3   L c 4 ρ 2 ρ 1

C. 4 L c 3 ρ 2 ρ 1

D. 2 L c 3 ρ 2 ρ

Correct Option is (A)

For open organ pipe :

Fundamental frequency n = V 2 L o

First overtone n 1 = 2 n = V L o

For closed organ pipe

Fundamental frequency n = V 4   L c

First overtone n 1 = 3 n = 3 V 4 L c

n 1 = n 1 V L o = 3   V 4   L c L 0   L c = 4 3 V V .......(1) V = k ρ 2 ,   V = k ρ l

where k is the adiabatic bulk modulus, which is reciprocal of compressibility.

V V = ρ 1 ρ 2

Putting this value in Eq.(1)

L 0   L c = 4 3 ρ 1 ρ 2
