Question:

Consider the propagation of sound (with velocity $330$ m/s) in a pipe of length $1.5$ m with one end closed and the other open. The frequency associated with the fundamental mode is

Show Hint

For closed pipes, only odd harmonics exist and fundamental frequency is $v/4L$.

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation


Concept:
For pipe closed at one end: \[ f = \frac{v}{4L} \]

Step 1:
Substitute values.
\[ f = \frac{330}{4 \times 1.5} = \frac{330}{6} \]

Step 2:
Calculate.
\[ f = 55 \text{ Hz} \]
