14.Waves and Sound
normal
Two pipes are each $50\,cm$ in length. One of them is closed at one end while the other is both ends. The speed of sound in air is $340\,ms^{-1}.$ The frequency at which both the pipes can resonate is
A
$680\,Hz$
B
$510\,Hz$
C
$85\,Hz$
D
None of these
Solution
A pipe open only at one end and another one of equal length but open at both the ends have their fundamental frequencies $v$ and $2v$ respectively. Again only odd harmonics are possible for a pipe open at one end whereas all second harmonics are possible for a pipe open at both ends. Thus, it is impossible to have a common frequency at which they can resonate.
