The ratio of frequencies of fundamental harmonic produced by an open pipe to that of closed pipe having the same length is
(1) 2:1
Open pipe: fo = v2L; closed pipe: fc = v4L
fofc = v/2Lv/4L = 21
Answer: (1)
If the initial tension on a stretched string is doubled, then the ratio of the initial and final speeds of a transverse wave along the string is
An organ pipe filled with a gas at 27 resonates at 400 Hz in its fundamental mode. If it is filled with the same gas at 90 , the resonance frequency at the same mode will be
In a guitar, two strings A and B made of same material are slightly out of tune and produce beats of frequency 6 Hz. When tension in B is slightly decreased, the beat frequency increases. If the frequency of A is 530 Hz, the original frequency of B will be :
A tuning fork is used to produce resonance in a glass tube. The length of the air column in this tube can be adjusted by a variable piston. At room temperature of 27°C two successive resonances are produced at 20 cm and 73 cm of column length. If the frequency of the tuning fork is 320 Hz, the velocity of sound in air at 27°C is
The fundamental frequency in an open organ pipe is equal to the third harmonic of a closed organ pipe. If the length of the closed organ pipe is 20 cm, the length of the open organ pipe is
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 ?
Two cars moving in opposite directions approach each other with speed of 22 m s-1 and 16.5 m s-1 respectively. The driver of the first car blows a horn having a frequency 400 Hz. The frequency heard by the driver of the second car is (velocity of sound is 340 m s-1)
An air column, closed at one end 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
A uniform rope of length L and mass m1 hangs vertically from a rigid support. A block of mass m2 is attached to the free end of the rope. A transverse pulse of wavelength 1 is produced at the lower end of the rope. The wavelength of the pulse when it reaches the top of the rope is 2. The ratio 2/ 1 is
A siren emitting a sound of frequency 800 Hz moves away from an observer towards a cliff at a speed of 15 m s-1. Then, the frequency of sound that the observer hears in the echo reflected from the cliff is (Take velocity of sound in air = 330 m s-1)
