An organ pipe A closed at one ends is allowed to vibrate in its first harmonic and another pipe B open at both ends is allowed to vibrate in its third harmonic. Both A and B are in resonance with a given tuning fork. The ratio of the length of A and B is

Answer»

`(8)/(3)`
`(3)/(8)`
`(1)/(6)`
`(1)/(3)`

SOLUTION :`(1)/(6)`
Frequency of closed organ pipe (at one end) `f_(1) = (v)/(4 l_(1))`
Frequency of OPEN organ pipe 3RD harmonic `f_(2) = (3v)/(2l_(2))`
If , `f_(1) = f_(2) implies (v)/(4l_(1)) = (3v)/(2l_(2))`
Ratio of length A and B, `(l_(1))/(l_(2)) = (2)/(12) = (1)/(6)`
