Detailed Solution

Critical hearing frequency for a person is 20,000Hz.
If a closed pipe vibration in Nth mode, then frequency of vibration
n=(2N1)v4l=(2N1)n1
(where n1=fundamental frequency of vibration)
Hence 20,000=(2N1)×1500N=7.17
Also , in closed pipe
Number of over tones = (No. of mode of vibration) – 1
= 7 – 1 = 6
