NEET 2014 Physics Sound Waves in Pipes MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11

The number of possible natural oscillations of air column in the pipe closed at one end of length 85 cm whose frequencies lie below 1250 Hz. are (Velocity of sound = 340 m/s.)

A

12

B

8

C

6

D

4

Correct Answer

Option C

Detailed Explanation

For a pipe closed at one end, the frequencies are given by fₙ = (2n - 1)v/4L. Solving for n with fₙ < 1250 Hz gives n = 6.
