The fundamental frequency of a closed organ pipe of length 20 cm is equal to the second overtone of an organ pipe open at both the ends. The length of organ pipe open at both the ends is
cm
cm
cm
cm
To solve this problem, we need to understand the relationship between the frequencies of closed and open organ pipes.For a closed organ pipe, the fundamental frequency is given by:where cm m and is the speed of sound in air.For an open organ pipe, the frequency of the second overtone (third harmonic) is given by:According to the problem, the fundamental frequency of the closed pipe is equal to the second overtone of the open pipe:Simplify and solve for Cancel from both sides:Cross-multiply to solve for m cmTherefore, the length of the organ pipe open at both ends is cm.This corresponds to Option 2.
