Question

The frequency of the second overtone of the open pipe is equal to the frequency of the first overtone of the closed pipe. The ratio of the lengths of the open pipe and the closed pipe is.
  1. 1:3
  2. 1:2
  3. 2:1
  4. 3:1

A
3:1
B
2:1
C
1:2
D
1:3
Solution
Verified by Toppr

Let the lengths of open pipe and closed pipe be L and l, respectively.
Frequency of second overtone (or third harmonic i.e n=3) of open pipe ν=nv2L=3v2L

Frequency of first overtone (or third harmonic ie. m=2) of open pipe ν=(2m1)v4l=3v4l
But ν=ν
3v2L=3v4l L:l=2:1
