Question

The pipe of length l1 , closed at one end is kept in a chamber of gas of density ρ1. A second pipe open at both ends is placed in a second chamber of gas density ρ2, the compressibility of both gases is equal. Calculate length of the second pipe if frequency of first one in both the cases are equal.

Moderate
Solution

Frequency of first overtone in closed pipe f=34l1Pρ1     1  Frequency of first overtone in open pipe  f'=22l2Pρ2        2  equating (1) & (2)  l2=43l1ρ1ρ2
