Question:

The fundamental frequency of a closed organ pipe of length L is equal to the frequency of the first overtone of an open organ pipe of length L'. The relation between their lengths is:

Show Hint

Closed pipe: odd harmonics only Open pipe: all harmonics First overtone of open pipe = second harmonic

  • \( L' = 4L \)
  • \( L' = 2L \)
  • \( L = L' \)
  • \( L' = \frac{L}{2} \)

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Concept: Closed pipe (one end closed): \[ f_c = \frac{v}{4L} \] Open pipe: \[ f_1 = \frac{v}{2L'}, \quad \text{first overtone} = \frac{2v}{2L'} = \frac{v}{L'} \]

Step 1: Equate frequencies \[ \frac{v}{4L} = \frac{v}{L'} \]

Step 2: Solve \[ L' = 4L \]
