A pipe 20 cm long is closed at one end. Which harmonic mode of the pipe is resonantly excited by a 430 Hz source? Will the same source be in resonance with the pipe if both ends are open? (speed of sound in air is ).
Solution:
Here, L = 20 cm = 0.2 m, Hz, The frequency of nth normal mode of vibration of closed pipe is or or Hence it will be the lst normal mode of vibration. In a pipe, open at both ends, we have As n has to be an integer, therefore, open organ pipe cannot be in resonance with the source.
