Question 106 of 142

A pipe open at both ends has a fundamental frequency ff in air. The pipe is dipped vertically in water so that half of it is in water. The fundamental frequency of the air column is now:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (B) ff



f=v2lf=\dfrac{v}{2l}



f′=v4l′=v4(l2)=f{f}^{'}=\dfrac{v}{4{l}^{'}}=\dfrac{v}{4\left(\dfrac{l}{2}\right)}=f
