MP Board · Class 11 · Physics · WavesWhat is the ratio of fundamental frequencies of a closed organ pipe and an open organ pipe of the same length?
Step-by-Step Solution
Correct Option: $1 : 2$ \nFundamental frequency of closed pipe $f_c = \frac{v}{4L}$ and open pipe $f_o = \frac{v}{2L}$.\nRatio $\frac{f_c}{f_o} = \frac{v/4L}{v/2L} = \frac{1}{2}$, i.e., $1:2$.
