An open pipe is in resonance in its 2nd harmonic with tuning fork of frequency f_(1).Now it is closed at one end. If the frequency of the tuning fork is increased slowly from f_(1)then again a resonance is obtained with a frequency f_(2) . If in this case the pipe vibrates nth harmonics then

Answer»

`n=3, f_(2) = 3/4 f_(1)`
`n=3, f_(2) = 5/4 f_(1)`
`n=5, f_(2) = 5/4 f_(1)`
`n=5, f_(2) = 3/4 f_(1)`

Solution :Open pipe, FUNDAMENTAL harmonics. The TUBE VIBRATES in the second harmonic.

`therefore f_(1)`, the second harmonic of
`f_(1) =(2V)/(2l) = v/l` ,
If one end is closed, it gives only odd harmonics.
If fundamental `=v//4l`,
The harmonic are `(3v)/(4l), (5v)/(4l)` etc.
once, the frequency starts increasing, the FIRST higher harmonic that is resonated `=(3v)/(4l)`
If n=3, `f_(2) =3/4.v/l = 3/4 f_(1)`
However, here is a snag. The frequency increased from v/l.
`therefore 3/4f_(1)` is not greater than `f_(1)`.
`therefore 5/4 f_(1)` is the answer because this is greater than `f_(1)`.
So, the ansser is (b)
