Consider the case of normal modes of vibration for the air column with only one end closed. What is the length of the air column for the fundamental harmonic?(a) λ/2(b) λ(c) 2λ(d) λ/4I got this question in an online quiz.Asked question is from Reflection of Waves topic in portion Waves of Physics – Class 11

Answer»

Right answer is (d) λ/4

The best I can explain: For the GIVEN CONDITION wavelength is RELATED to length by: λ = 4L/(2n+1).

∴ For fundamental harmonic n=0, & L = (2n+1)λ/4

= (0 + 1)λ/4

= λ/4.
