The frequency of the first overtone of a closed pipe of length l_(1)is equal to that of the first overtone of an open pipe of length l_(1) . The ratio of their lengths (l_(1) : l_(2)) is

Answer»

`2:3`
`4:5`
`3:5`
`3:4`

Solution :The frequency of the first OVERTONE of a CLOSED PIPE of length `l_(1)` is
`v_( c) =(3v)/(4l_(1))`
Where v is the velocity of sound in air.
The frequency of the first overtone of an open pipe of length `l_(2)` is
`v_(O) =(2v)/(2l_(2)) =v/l_(2)`
As per QUESTION, `v_( C) =v_(0)`
`therefore 3/4 v/l_(1) = v/l_(2)` or `l_(1)/l_(2) = 3/4`
