Physics of Sound

  1. The two nearest harmonics of a tube closed at one end and open at other end are 220 Hz and 260 Hz. What is the fundamental frequency of the system?
    1. 20 Hz
    2. 30 Hz
    3. 40 Hz
    4. 10 Hz
Correct Option: A

Difference in two successive frequencies of closed pipe 2v/4l = 260 – 220 = 40 Hz
or 2v/4l = 40 Hz
⇒ v/4l = 20Hz
Which is the fundamental frequency of system of closed organ pipe.
