The two nearest harmonics of a tube close at one end and open at other end are 220Hz and 260Hz. What is the fundamental frequency of the system?

Explanation

(b)Thinking Process

Frequency  in an closed-end tube 

     f=2n-1v4l               where, n=1, 2, 3...........

Also, only odd harmonics exist in a closed-end tube.

Now, given two nearest harmonics are of frequency 220Hz and 260Hz.

So, 2n-1v4l=220Hz      ...(i)

Next harmonics occur at,

          2n+1v4l=260Hz      ...(ii)

On subtracting Eq. (i) from Eq (ii). we get 

2n+1-2n-1v4l=260-220

2v4l=40v4l=20Hz

So, the fundamental frequency of the system=v4l=20Hz

 

The second overtone of an open organ pipe has the same frequency as the first overtone of a closed pipe L metre long. The length of the open pipe will be

(b) For an open organ pipe

    νn=n21v, where n=1,2,3...

For second overtons n=3, v20=32L1v

L1=length of open organ pipe

 For closed organ pipe vn=2n+14Lv

where, n=0, 1,2,3...

A string is stretched between fixed points separated by 75.0 cm. It is observed to have resonant frequencies of 420 Hz and 315 Hz.There are no other resonant frequencies between these two.The lowest resonant frequency for this strings is

Explanation

Given,L=75cm, f1=420Hz and f2=315HzAs two consecutive resonant frequencies for a string fixed at both ends will be,f1=nv2L and f2=(n+1)v2L f2-f1=420-315(n+1)v2L-nv2L=105Hzv2L  =105HzThus, lowest resonant frequency of a string is 105Hz.


If n1, n2 and n3 are, are the fundamental frequencies of three segments into which a string is divided, then the original fundamental frequency n of the string is given by

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

When a string is divided into segments, the fundamental frequencies of the segments are inversely proportional to their lengths. The sum of the reciprocals of the fundamental frequencies of the segments is equal to the reciprocal of the original fundamental frequency. Therefore, the correct option is o1: 1/n = 1/n1 + 1/n2 + 1/n3.

The number of possible natural oscillations of the air column in a pipe closed at one end of length 85 cm whose frequencies lie below 1250 Hz are (velocity of sound 340ms-1) :

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

For pipe closed at one end 

fn=n(v/4l)=n(340/4x85x10-2)=n(100)

Here, n is an odd number ,so for the given condition n can go upto n=11 because n=13 condition will
not be vaild 

n=1,3,5,7,9,11

So, number of possible natural oscillations could be 6.
