Question: In one metre long open pipe what is the harmonic of resonance obtained with a tuning fork of frequency 480 Hz

[J & K CET 2005]

Options:

A) First

B) Second

C) Third

D) Fourth

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

In case of open pipe, $ n=\frac{N}{2l} $ where N = order of harmonics = order of mode of vibration

Therefore $ N=\frac{n\times 2l}{v} $

$ =\frac{480}{330}\times 2\times 1 $ = 3 (Here v = 330 m/s)
