Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11
The fundamental note produced by a closed organ pipe is of frequency v. The fundamental note produced by an open organ pipe of same length will be of frequency
A
v/2
B
v
C
2v
D
4v
Correct Answer
Option C
Detailed Explanation
The fundamental frequency of a closed pipe is v_c = v/4L, while for an open pipe it is v_o = v/2L. Dividing these, v_o/v_c = 2, so v_o = 2v_c = 2v.
