If v is the speed of sound in air, then the shortest length of the closed pipe which resonates to a frequency n
Options
(a) v / 4n
(b) v / 2n
(c) 2n / v
(d) 4n / v
Correct Answer:
v / 4n
Explanation:
For closed pipe, l = λ/4 in fundamental mode when the length is shortest.
v = nλ ⇒ v = n × 4l ⇒ l = v/4n
