If the fundamental frequency of a closed pipe organ on a day when the speed of sound is 340ms-1 is 170Hz, then the length of the pipe is
-
A.
50cm -
B.
70cm -
C.
100cm -
D.
150cm -
E.
200cm
Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation
(lambda) = (frac{v}{f})
= (frac{340}{170})
= 2m ; for closed pipe
L = (frac{1}{4})(lambda)
= (frac{1}{4}) x (frac{2}{1})
= 0.5m
= 50cm
