Questions  

A pipe of length 20 cm is open at both ends. Which harmonic mode of the pipe is resonantly excited by a 1700 Hz source? The speed of sound= 340ms−1
 

a
first harmonic
b
second harmonic
c
third harmonic
d
fourth harmonic

detailed solution

Correct option is B

In an open pipe, the condition of resonance is  f=Pv2L→P=1, 2, 3....here P=2fLv=2×1700×0.2340=2

A tube of certain diameter and of length 48 cm is open at both ends. Its fundamental frequency of resonance is found to be 320 Hz. The velocity of sound in air is 320 m/s. One end of the tube is now closed, considering the effect of end correction, calculate the lowest frequency of resonance for the tube (in Hz).
