Physics of Sound

  1. An air column, closed at one end and open at the other, resonates with a tuning fork when the smallest length of the column is 50 cm. The next larger length of the column resonating with the same tuning fork is :
    1. 66.7 cm
    2. 100 cm
    3. 150 cm
    4. 200 cm
Correct Option: C

For a closed organ pipe first minimum resonating length
L1 = λ/4 = 50 cm
∴ Next or second resonating length, L2
= 3λ/4 = 150 cm.
