Wave Mechanics Question 1110

Question: An empty vessel is partially filled with water, then the frequency of vibration of air column in the vessel

[KCET 2000]

Options:

A) Remains same

B) Decreases

C) Increases

D) First increases then decreases

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

For closed pipe in general $ n=\frac{v}{4l}(2N-1) $

Therefore $ n\propto \frac{1}{l} $ i.e. if length of air column decreases frequency increases.
