The number of possible natural oscillations of an air column in a pipe closed at one end of length cm whose frequencies lie below Hz are (velocity of sound m/s)
To solve this problem, we need to determine the number of natural oscillations (harmonics) of an air column in a pipe closed at one end.The fundamental frequency and its harmonics for a pipe closed at one end are given by:where is the harmonic number (1, 2, 3, ...), is the velocity of sound, and is the length of the pipe.Given:⢠Length of the pipe cm m⢠Velocity of sound m/s⢠Maximum frequency HzWe need to find the maximum such that Hz.Substitute the values into the formula:Simplify the expression:Set to find the maximum Divide both sides by 100:Add 1 to both sides:Divide by 2:Since must be a natural number, the largest possible is Thus, the number of possible natural oscillations is This corresponds to Option 4.
