Question 90 of 142
For a certain organ pipe, the first three resonance frequencies are in the ratio of respectively. If the frequency of fifth harmonic is and the speed of sound in air is the length of the organ pipe is _____ .
Show answer and solution
Answer: 1
It is given,
.
As the first three resonance frequencies are in the ratio of , therefore it must be a closed organ pipe.
The frequency formula in a closed organ pipe is given by . So,
.
