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
