If the fundamental frequency of a closed pipe organ on a day when the speed of sound is 340ms
-1 is 170Hz, then the length of the pipe is
-
A.
50cm
-
B.
70cm
-
C.
100cm
-
D.
150cm
-
E.
200cm
Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation
\(\lambda\) = \(\frac{v}{f}\)
= \(\frac{340}{170}\)
= 2m ; for closed pipe
L = \(\frac{1}{4}\)\(\lambda\)
= \(\frac{1}{4}\) x \(\frac{2}{1}\)
= 0.5m
= 50cm
